To the community,

Les Wright of the Lake Tahoe Marathon recently donated $1,000 to the South Lake Tahoe BMX Association. The BMX Association is a nonprofit organization designed to provide quality BMX programs that promote safety, fun, and good sportsmanship in a positive and healthy environment.

The track is open June 1 through Oct. 1 and just completed its 11th season of operation.

On behalf of the youth and families that participate in BMX, thank you to the Lake Tahoe Marathon for the generous donation.

Lauren Thomaselli, BMX organizer
