| American Flat Track, All Kids Bike partner on Quarters for Kids campaign to fund $27,000 in learn-to-ride bike programsDAYTONA BEACH, FL (February 17, 2026) – Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, is thrilled to announce a special Quarters for Kids Campaign that will fund $27,000 in bike learning programs through All Kids Bike. During the 2026 Progressive AFT Season, $0.25 from every race ticket will help fund new All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Learn-to-Ride programs. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, All Kids Bike provides schools with everything they need to teach kids how to ride a bike – from balancing to pedaling – as part of their Kindergarten PE class. The comprehensive, ready-to-teach program is currently teaching over 180,000 students across the US how to ride this school year. “As huge fans of Progressive American Flat Track racing, we truly believe that inspiring the next generation of racers starts by empowering children to ride at the youngest age possible,” said All Kids Bike Executive Director Lisa Weyer. “The amazing part of this Quarters for Kids campaign is that it enables AFT fans to help fund the future of the sport. Even if you attend just one race this season, you’ll help 3,000 Kindergarteners discover the confidence and joy of riding a bike.” Twenty-five cents from every ticket this season will help fund the $9,000 All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Learn-to-Ride Program in three (3) new schools. Because each program remains in a school for 10 years, this single season can ultimately help approximately 3,000 children learn to ride a bike. If the program falls short of its $27,000 goal, a donation from Tim Estenson will offset the difference to ensure all programs are fully funded, proving that Progressive AFT racing teams truly believe in the power of the All Kids Bike Program. Don’t miss the start of the 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season.
