According to a press release, the event is being held in collaboration with the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) and their local representative, William Howard with a major focus on providing equipment and accessories for under-resourced cyclists in Guyana.

In addition, GCANA is now finalising plans to have a coach from Enduro Training Systems of Canada to come to Guyana to provide some technical knowledge to cyclists.

This GCANA fundraiser is being held at the Woodbine Ballroom, Church and

Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, N.Y., with the generous sponsorship of Williams

Among the Guyanese cycling stars of yesteryear expected to grace the occasion will be GCANA President Neville Hunte, Olympian and Personal Trainer Aubrey Bryce, Olympians Aubrey Gordon and Byron James, and other national cyclists such as Randy Toussaint, Desmond ‘Pops” DeCaires and Kenneth Joseph, as well as motorbike ace Kevin Jeffrey and boxer Lennox Blackmore.
