LET'S GO, RVA! | 3

Active living, to me, is about much more than

exercise. I’ve met most of my neighbors (now friends)

while taking walks. I’ve become familiar with the

North and South Sides and the East and West Ends

while running or biking. I’ve grown to treasure the

James River and our park system while hiking. I’ve

marveled at how hip RVA has become, and how

proud I am to live here, while sharing the energy of

outdoor festivals such as Dominion Energy Riverrock.

And from traveling on foot and by bike on our

streets and sidewalks, I’ve become more aware of

important issues that affect our community, such

as public transportation and bike and pedestrian

safety. Active living has connected me to our city and

community, and Sports Backers is the driving force

behind active living in RVA. Sports Backers events

motivate tens of thousands to get off the couch and

join a collective celebration of active living, while

showcasing the beauty and dynamism of our city

and boosting our local economy and civic pride.

Thousands of our school children and their volunteer

coaches have joined Sports Backers Kids Run RVA

clubs to make movement part of their regular routine.

Sports Backers Fitness Warriors pay it forward

by teaching free classes in their neighborhoods,

fostering future classes of Warriors, and enlisting

their colleagues and classes to join the battle against

a culture of inactivity. Sports Backers’ work with local

and state governments is informing and changing

basic infrastructure - more bike and pedestrian lanes,

sidewalks and public spaces - and public policy (such

as the Vision Zero initiative) to ensure active living

is safe and accessible to everyone. Sports Backers’

impact is about more than improving physical fitness

and health, though those are important positive

outcomes; Sports Backers’ active living movement

connects us all to our city and community.

Sincerely,

Maureen C. Ackerly

Board Chair

Active l iving, to me, is about much

more than exercise. . . Active l iving

has connected me to our city and

community."

SUPPORTING the REGION’S ACTIVE LIVING NETWORK

The transformation of a culture takes

time and commitment through cross-

sector collaboration. Sports Backers

took on the challenge to establish

itself as the convener around active

living and has become the backbone

organization leading a cross-sector

partnership for active living.”

– Sherrie Armstrong, President and CEO of the Community Foundation for a greater Richmond

SPORTS BACKERS CREATES TWO NEW SCHOLARSHIPS

Sports Backers created two new

scholarships in the amount of $2,500 each

in memory of staff members Cheryl Lockett

Oliver and Raymond Delaware Patterson.

These scholarships were presented for the

first time at our 27th Annual Richmond-

Times Dispatch/Sports Backers Scholar-

Athlete Awards. Annual scholarships are

awarded to one college-bound senior girl

and boy who have achieved a minimum GPA

of 2.5, and are in need of financial aid to

pursue higher education.

GOV. NORTHAM AT MOVEMENT MAKERS

Governor Ralph Northam shared his opinion

on the benefits of a community that

prioritizes healthy and active living at our

sixth-annual Active RVA Awards presented

by Cigna. The event was held the same day

as the Movement Makers Active

Living Summit. The awards honored

123 area schools and 44 companies.

Since the opening of the bike

lanes on Franklin Street, I have

changed my routes and use this

every t ime now. I love it . I have

been riding with cars for so long,

I had no idea how amazing riding

in protected bike lanes could be. I

just wanted to say thank you for

your contributions and efforts.”

– Jessica, Richmond Resident

FRANKLIN STREET BIKE LANE

Construction concluded on a two-way protected

bike lane on the north side of Franklin Street. Sports

Backers Bike Walk RVA staff and advocates were

joined by Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney to officially

open the new bike lane and ride it on Bike to Work

Day. The celebration capped off Sports Backers

fifth-annual RVA Bike Month

presented by Bon Secours.

CELEBRATING ACTIVE LIVING through EVENTS

We had an amazing experience

yesterday! Running my first

marathon with friends was great

but doing it at America's Friendliest

Marathon was unlike anything

I expected. That t it le is so well

deserved. From the employees, to the

volunteers, to the runners...Everyone

was so kind and encouraging.”

RUN BIKE RELAY PRESENTED BY RAGNAR DEBUTS

Not even record-setting rainfall

of over seven inches on race

day could sidetrack the debut

of Run Bike Relay presented by

Ragnar in June. The 125-mile

roundtrip overnight team relay

from Richmond to Jamestown

and back was forced to reroute

around flooded trails, but

received rave reviews from the

80+ teams that participated.

“The Fitness Warriors program is

an amazing platform. Through this

initiative, lives are being changed.

As Warriors, we’re tackling the

important public health issues in

our communities. This program is

making a difference.”

– Terrica Woolridge, Fitness Warrior

TWO CLASSES OF WARRIORS

For the first time our Fitness Warriors

celebrated two classes completing the

program in a year. These 32 graduates

have gone on to teach free group fitness

classes at least once a week in vulnerable

areas throughout the Richmond region.

RICHMOND ROAD RUNNERS CLUB

AND SPORTS BACKERS JOIN FORCES

Our partnership with the Richmond

Road Runners Club has enabled Sports

Backers to provide grants to 33 schools

and community groups seeking funds to

support new and existing run clubs or

to put on school-based running events

during the past school year.

Bike Walk RVA

RVA Bike Month consisted of 55 events,

largely organized by volunteers, and 4,000

participants! According to the League of

American Bicyclists, the Richmond region’s

bike month has the largest number of events

(regardless of community size) in the nation.

Events

Over 6,100 participants took part in the Anthem Corporate

Run on June 7th, setting a new event registration record and

demonstrating the importance of workplace wellness initiatives,

team-building programs, and business-to-business networking

opportunities to companies of all sizes in the Richmond area.

Active RVA Certified Companies & Schools

In 2018, Sports Backers recognized 44 companies and 123

schools and early childhood education centers across the

region for being Active RVA Certified and for integrating

physical activity as part of their culture.

ROCKIN' the river life AND TURNIN' 10!

May marked the 10th Dominion Energy Riverrock festival. Coinciding with the anniversary the

festival was named the 2017 ‘Green Event of the

Year’ at the annual Virginia Green Travel Start

Awards program. The Dominion

Energy Riverrock website also

got a makeover with a redesign

and rolled out in time for our 2018

registration launch.

THEY LIKE US! THEY

really LIKE US!

Both the Anthem Richmond Marathon and the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k presented by Kroger were honored on the BibRave100 list of the best races in America. A combination of

runner nominations, running industry surveys, and

online votes from runners contributed to the list,

which named the marathon as one of the 15 best

26.2-mile races in the U.S. and the 10k as one of

the top 15 at that distance.

VETERAN MTT coach RETIRES

Don Garber (pictured top right

with wife Betsy), the only head coach in the 16-year history of the Sports Backers Marathon Training Team, hung up his (very colorful) shorts at the conclusion of the 2017

season. During his time at the helm, Don, along

with his team of extraordinary volunteer coaches,

turned marathon training from a solitary pursuit into

a group activity and inspired and prepared over

15,000 people to realize their dream of running 26.2

miles. Enjoy sleeping in on weekends, Don!

WE LIKE, WE like TO PARTY!

We always like a good party and

the 40th running of the Anthem Richmond Marathon in November gave us plenty of

reason to let our hair down! All three races –

the full marathon, half marathon and 8k – saw

participant increases and we recognized the

four “Old Lions” who have completed the

marathon all 40 times!

LET'S GO, RVA! | 11

WE’RE the hottest thing ON TWO WHEELS!

The League of American Bicyclists

recognized Sports Backers with a

Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Business

award for 2017. A Bike Friendly

Business since 2013, this marks the

first time we’ve earned Gold status,

acknowledging Sports Backers as

an organization that is transforming

the American workplace.

VOLUNTEERS – OUR life BLOOD!

Our annual Volunteer Thank You

Reception in November gave us the

opportunity to recognize over 7,000

volunteers who make what we do

possible. A huge thanks to our volunteers

of the year, Garry Whelan (Bike Walk

RVA), Margaret Maslak (Sports Backers

Event Volunteer), Annette Sirica (Kids

Run RVA), Theresa Caldwell (Fitness

Warriors), and Jill Meads, Judy Wood, and

Maggie Rice (Training Teams).

EXPANDING our impact THROUGH CAMPAIGN

DONATIONS

We surpassed the $2.5 million fundraising goal

for our Building an Active Future campaign,

raising a total of $2.52 million. Thanks to generous

commitments and donations Sports Backers will

be able to expand the economic impact of sports

tourism, continue working to improve bike and

pedestrian infrastructure, increase accessible

fitness programs, and strengthen our active living

partner network. Let’s go, RVA!

ANDRE INGRAM HEADLINES Scholar-Athlete Awards

DINNER

In just 48 hours in early April, Andre

Ingram went from anonymous 10-year minor league

journeyman to the talk of the sports world, scoring

19 points for the L.A. Lakers in his NBA debut at

age 32. The Highland Springs High School graduate,

who was the Times-Dispatch/Sports Backers male

Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2002, capped off

his memorable spring by serving as the keynote

speaker at this year’s 27th annual Times-Dispatch/

Sports Backers Scholar-Athlete Awards.

12 | LET'S GO, RVA!

Sports Backers successfully surpassed its Building an Active Future campaign

goal, raising a total of $2.52 million. “Funds from the Building an Active Future

campaign allow us to double down on our most impactful work and expand our

reach even further into vulnerable communities,” said Maureen Ackerly, Chair of

the Board of Directors for Sports Backers. “Through this campaign, we are able

to continue to provide residents of greater Richmond with access to safe and

affordable active living opportunities on a daily and weekly basis.”

“As a longtime Sports Backers volunteer, participant, and donor, I’ve seen over

the past decade how our region’s active, outdoor culture has been enhanced

and promoted by Sports Backers,” said campaign chairman Roy Grier. “Sports

Backers’ staff and volunteers are already hard at work using the funds raised

through this campaign to build a more active future for all residents of our

region and bring physical activity to all corners of our community.”

Sports Backers will work towards these goals in accordance with the

organization’s five-year strategic plan and community activity and health

initiatives, including Bike Walk RVA, Fitness Warriors, Kids Run RVA, and

Active RVA.

The success of the Building an Active Future campaign is thanks to

contributions and pledges from corporations, foundations, community

leaders, and regional governments.

A big thanks to our campaign committee!
