Young Pioneers

Little 500是一个学生自行车比赛，为IU工作的学生提供奖学金。这场比赛从1951年开始每年春天举行，已经成为IU的一个珍贵传统， 每年四月有超过20,000名粉丝和校友参加。

在2015-2016学年，中国学生的男子团队Young Pioneers成为第一个在IU65年历史上成功获得资格参加Little 500赛事的国际队伍，这是真正的里程碑式的成就！团队希望今年和以后继续竞争，为其他国际团体参与这个传统铺平道路。

我们是独立的并且自我资助的，所以我们没有收到过任何来自赞助组织的资金支持（相比之下，一些兄弟会组织每年收到了超过10,000美元的资金支持）。我们不希望因为缺乏资金而无法改进，我们也不希望租金成为一个阻碍购买设备的因素。我们希望社会提供一些资金支持。

资金不仅可用于购买自行车进行训练，还可以购买头盔，团队套装（骑自行车运动衫和短裤，鞋子，夹克，寒冷天气训练，安全和防护装备，室内训练设备，工具和维护设备，团队注册和入场费用。）

希望大家捐款资助我们，谢谢。

The Little 500 is a student-run bike race that funds scholarships for working students at Indiana University. The race, held every spring since 1951, has become a treasured tradition at IU and is attended by more than 20,000 fans and alumni every April, rain or shine.

In the 2015-16 academic year, the Young Pioneers, a (men’s) team of Chinese students, became the first international team to EVER successfully qualify to race in the Little 500 in its 65-year history; that was truly a landmark achievement! The team wants to continue to compete this year and in the future, paving the way for other international groups to participate in this wonderful IU tradition.

The Young Pioneers are independent and self-funded, so they receive no financial support from a sponsoring organization (by contrast, some of the teams supported by Greek fraternal organizations receive funding of more than $10,000 every year). We do not want a lack of funding to be an obstacle to the team’s ability to continue to improve, nor do we want money to stand in the way of a potential recruit who does not have the ability to purchase the necessary equipment. We are asking for some financial support from the community.

Funds could be used to purchase not just bicycles for training, but helmets, team kit (cycling jerseys and shorts), shoes, jackets, cold weather training, safety and protective gear, indoor training equipment, tools and maintenance equipment, team registration and entry fees.
