THE steering committee of the Guyana Cycling Association of North America (GCANA) recently staged a resounding successful fundraising venture at the Woodbine Ballroom in Brooklyn, New York.According to a release, this was the fifth annual cycling reunion and fundraising dance and was attended and supported by former national cyclists residing in North America.

The GCANA in its release said it is thankful for the support the organisation received from former national cyclists and other supporters.
According to the release, GCANA’s mission is to raise the standard of cycling in Guyana and the committee strives to do this by working conscientiously with affiliates in Guyana. “Most importantly, all proceeds from the fundraising ventures over the years go towards achieving the GCANA’s mission.”
They have assisted with funds to Guyana and North American cyclists to defray travelling expenses to cycling events overseas, defrayed costs for Guyanese cyclists training in North America, sponsored races in Guyana and North America and awarded trophies and monetary prizes to race winners.
This is only a synopsis of activities GCANA performs.
The Committee plans to do more this year for the cyclists as funding permits and the association is currently planning a raffle which will be drawn in September this year.
The relevant information will be published soon regarding the sale of raffle tickets.
Meanwhile, the Committee is planning its next cycling reunion and fundraising dance to be held at the Woodbine Ballroom in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday March 13, 2016.
