WE ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION BY ADVOCATING FOR SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE; SUPPORTING A NETWORK OF ACTIVE LIVING PARTNERS; PROVIDING GROUP FITNESS ACTIVITIES AND CREATING DIVERSE EVENT OPPORTUNITIES. OUR INNOVATIVE CULTURE FUELS THE GROWTH IN OUR IMPACT ACROSS THE COMMUNITY. WE WORKED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO INCREASE SIDEWALKS, CROSSWALKS, AND MULTI-USE TRAILS THROUGHOUT THE REGION. WE HAD GREATLY INCREASED FREE FITNESS CLASSES OFFERED IN UNDERSERVED AREAS TO 66 EVERY WEEK THROUGH OUR FITNESS WARRIORS PROGRAM. DURING THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR, WE SUPPORTED 65 RUNNING AND FITNESS CLUBS PRIMARILY IN LOW-INCOME SCHOOLS ACROSS THE REGION THAT IMPACT NEARLY 3,300 STUDENTS. THE SPORTS BACKERS PROVIDE RESIDENTS OF GREATER RICHMOND WITH ACCESS TO SAFE AND AFFORDABLE ACTIVE LIVING OPPORTUNITIES. AS A RESULT, OUR REGION IS A HEALTHIER AND MORE VIBRANT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY. 6189297 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 92 0 1 69 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 28 28 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X THE ORGANIZATION 8042859495 4921 LAKESIDE AVENUE HENRICO VA 23228 DANIEL GECKER CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ANGELA KELLY-WIECEK SECRETARY AND GOVERNANCE C 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ANNE WALESKI TREASURER - STARTED 01/25 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ANDREW CLARK DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ROY GRIER IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LASHRECSE AIRD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NEIL AGNIHOTRI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NEIL AMIN DIRECTOR - ENDED 12/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 MATT ANDERSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM T BERRY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BOB BLUE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CRAIG CRONHEIM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHAD EISELE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DON GARBER DIRECTOR - ENDED 12/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUZANNE GARDNER DIRECTOR - STARTED 01/25 1.00 X 0 0 0 LYDIA JOHNSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS KANTNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KELLI LEMON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 WENDY LEWIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIM MACLEOD DIRECTOR - ENDED 12/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK MILLER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SAM MINTZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA NEWBILLE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHERINE O'DONNELL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 COURTNEY PAULK DIRECTOR - ENDED 12/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA RUGGLES DIRECTOR - ENDED 12/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAN SCHMITT DIRECTOR - ENDED 12/24 1.00 X 0 0 0 BETH SHIVAK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TAMARA WAGNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RANDALL PARKS DIRECTOR - STARTED 01/25 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEN SHEPARD DIRECTOR - STARTED 01/25 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN VITHOULKAS DIRECTOR - STARTED 01/25 1.00 X 0 0 0 JON P LUGBILL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR - ENDED 06/25 40.00 X 329081 0 68167 WILLIAM DIXON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR - STARTED 06/25 40.00 X 0 0 0 MEGAN SCHULTZ CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER 40.00 X 153805 0 43773 WILLIAM D DIXON CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFIC 40.00 X 156124 0 36906 MEGHAN KEOGH DIRECTOR OF EVENTS 40.00 X 120354 0 17525 MICHELLE MERTENS CONTROLLER 40.00 X 109625 0 15336 JACKI QUINLAN DIRECTOR OF YOUTH PROGRAMS 40.00 X 108905 0 10354 977894 0 192061 8 0 1 0 CONQUEST MONCURE & DUNN 208 EAST CARY STREET RICHMOND VA 23219 CONTRACTOR 674460 RICHMOND POLICE DEPARTMENT 200 W GRACE STREET RICHMOND VA 23220 SECURITY FOR EVENTS 247950 PD BROOKS TRAFFIC CONTROL PO BOX 3009 MECHANICSVILLE VA 23116 EVENT TRAFFIC ASSISTANCE 157775 QUEEN CITY TIMING PO BOX 5204 MOORESVILLE NC 28117 EVENT TIMING 129250 COLAB MULTIMEDIA 155 W 7TH STREET RICHMOND VA 23224 WEBSITE BUILD 127824 6 212000 1793512 136199 2005512 ENTRY FEES 711210 4191778 4191778 SPONSORSHIP REVENUE 711210 1689861 1689861 OTHER PROGRAM REVENUE 711210 279202 279202 BEVERAGE/FOOD SALES 711210 260529 260529 EXPO/OUTSIDER ADVERTISING REVENUE 711210 112000 112000 137145 137145 6670515 76596 76596 1742920 1483912 259008 259008 259008 218900 121180 97720 97720 9109351 6670515 0 433324 1213 1213 65500 65500 559427 377207 34441 147779 2743613 1849947 838092 55574 695 695 100316 27821 56251 16244 737437 737437 21613 379 21221 13 110731 60066 49849 816 91675 57934 26490 7251 71376 66527 4144 705 77630 56702 15866 5062 242803 205841 36962 EVENT PRODUCTION COSTS 3234065 3234065 APPRECIATION/CULTIVATIO 57647 44739 1640 11268 LEASES 39950 34534 5416 POSTAGE 39702 38567 775 360 104818 68255 29701 6862 8300211 6189297 1858980 251934 1637516 825217 394313 507598 101776 86097 260021 158836 1911737 309745 146091 1601992 1565868 1894110 165875 141639 4271460 5215489 570326 589931 1112452 1322406 250919 217012 1933697 2129349 X 1325661 2764701 1012102 321439 2337763 3086140 4271460 5215489 809140 -60763 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1694192 1447776 1498665 2060331 2005512 8706476 1694192 1447776 1498665 2060331 2005512 8706476 45741 8660735 44110 35647 38300 61818 76596 256471 8962947 26835648 0.96630 0.97200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4271 4271 6185026 6189297 459465 114866 0 0 401133 412287 443428 459465 1716313 2574470 4838 2781 5220 4271 17110 100283 103072 110857 114866 429078 643617 194474 4000 25482 7771 216185 179845 5220 18700 9291 194474 155304 23878 9125 8463 179845 173284 100 -10862 7218 155304 139975 550 40541 7782 173284 0.30000 0.56000 0.14000 1 0 1214701 10123 1204578 203787 162406 41381 493249 137216 356033 1601992 ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN 140729 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 76283 217012 X 9168426 -60763 120533 59770 9108656 695 695 9109351 8420049 120533 120533 8299516 695 695 8300211 PART X, LINE 2: MANAGEMENT HAS EVALUATED THE EFFECT OF GUIDANCE SURROUNDING UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAS NO SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL STATEMENT EXPOSURE TO UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITIONS AT JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024.
