The Global Impact STEM Academy FFA Bike Team joined other riders this past weekend for the annual Young’s Ice Cream Charity Bike Tour, raising funds and awareness for four local causes while cycling for fitness, fun, and community impact.

Together, the team completed 21 miles on the tour, pedaling with determination and enthusiasm for the charities they represented.

Their ride represents not only miles on the road but also meaningful contributions to organizations making a difference locally.”
