In 2011, The WAVE Foundation was established as a separate 501 (c) 3 public charity. The WAVE Foundation operates by championing the pillars—to inspire fitness, increase awareness, instill hope and impact domestic violence programs.
The WAVE Foundation intends to continue the growth of Cycle the WAVE as a primary source of funds to be donated to organizations serving victims of domestic violence. We will work with the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) taking steps toward a long-term vision of growth, expanding to bring Cycle the WAVE cycling experiences to other states.
Included in the long-term vision for The WAVE Foundation are additional venue opportunities, such as walks, mountain biking, auctions, community gatherings, depending on community interest and availability of volunteers.
