10 to Win Week-Long Loretta's Trail Ride and MX Coaching Trip. Plus 1 new YZ!
You might remember that the area surrounding Loretta Lynn's Ranch was absolutely devastated by flooding last year (just a few weeks after the race. If that rain had come during race week, the absolute worst would have happened). The United States Motorcycle Coaching Association and Yamaha are continuing to find ways to raise funds to help the Waverly, Tennessee community. But the cool thing is, if you help raise funds, you get a reward!
USMCA and Yamaha will host the top-ten fundraisers for Waverly at a week-long trail riding and MX coaching camp at Loretta's this fall.
The top ten fundraisers will receive a complimentary six-day trip to Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in October for an exclusive USMCA motocross riding clinic and Yamaha fall trail ride experience. During this trip, one of these top ten fundraisers will be selected to receive a free 2022 Yamaha YZ motocross bike.
So let's raise some money for Waverly, Tennessee schools!
The following press release is from the U.S. Motorcycle Coaching Association (USMCA):
USMCA & Yamaha Announce Fundraiser for Waverly, Tennessee
Temecula, California – The U.S. Motorcycle Coaching Association (USMCA) and Yamaha Motor Corporation U.S.A. are proud to partner to raise money for local Waverly, Tennessee schools devastated by last year’s deadly flooding. Waverly and nearby Loretta Lynn’s Ranch are recognized by many as the heart of American amateur motocross. The community suffered extensive damage resulting from massive flooding that struck the area in August of 2021.
By launching the LAPS FOR LEARNING fundraiser in cooperation with Racers 4 Waverly and the Road 2 Recovery Foundation, USMCA and Yamaha are encouraging all riders ages four (4) and up to create a personal donation page to raise funds for the Waverly School District. The top ten fundraisers will receive a complimentary six-day trip to Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in October for an exclusive USMCA motocross riding clinic and Yamaha fall trail ride experience. During this trip, one of these top ten fundraisers will be selected to receive a free 2022 Yamaha YZ motocross bike. All money raised will go directly to help in the recovery efforts of Humphreys County Schools as they relocate and rebuild the new permanent homes of Waverly Elementary and Waverly Junior High School. The funds raised from the Laps For Learning Initiative will go towards land excavation and site prep, green space including but not limited to outside classroom space, up to date technology, and state of the art security for the schools. Humphreys County Schools plans to build back better than before.
“Loretta Lynn’s and the Waverly community have meant so much to amateur motocross racing over the years, so it’s truly an honor to team up and give back to this community in such a time of dire need,” said Christy LaCurelle, President of the USMCA. “With the Laps For Learning site it is easy to get a donation page set up, and this is a really special once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our top fundraisers to receive expert off-road coaching, privileged access to Loretta’s legendary track, and one lucky rider even gets to bring home a brand new Yamaha YZ.”
