Lincoln High School Tri Team
BTC's 2008 Outreach Project is supporting the Abraham Lincoln High School Triathlon Team. The team draws from students in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn – an ethnically and economically diverse neighborhood. The 20 athletes on the team receive an introduction to triathlon, though many come to the class without bikes or running shoes. BTC's goal is to assist the team in acquiring bicycles, shoes, and other training gear, in addition to funds for race entry.

Team coach (and physical education teacher) Helene Roth worked very hard last year to assemble what she could for her students in the form of used bicycles and donated race t-shirts, since the school cannot devote any budget towards the team's product needs. This year Brooklyn Tri will provide support in the form of labor (teaching kids how to change a tire, helping youths get to races) and, hopefully, monetary support. The students need everything from bicycles to athletic gear to running shoes, including such essentials as bicycle tubes, tires, lights, and helmets.  Donations are tax deductible!
