The Christina Clarke Genco Foundation is 501(c)3-registered nonprofit organization. We believe in inspiring youth to find their passion and the potential of all youth to be passionate about making a difference in their communities.
Mission Statement
To inspire youth to find their passion and make a difference in their communities.
Vision Statement
To empower youth through athletic activities, community service, and pedal power.
Values Statement
We seek to encourage youth to channel their energies towards the development of skills and personal qualities that will enhance their life and the well-being of their family and community.
There are three primary focuses of the foundation: bicycling safety education, athletic scholarships, and support for affordable housing.
Safe Biking Fund
This fund focuses on improving bike safety and awareness for bikers and drivers alike. Three areas are currently being pursued:
- Improving safety awareness for young and uneducated bikers on defensive practices
- Improving biker rights and legal protection
- Incorporation of education and testing for motor vehicle drivers on sharing the road with bikers.
Our primary role is to encourage the spread of good practices and funding to existing individuals and organizations that show promise or effective track records in these areas.
Scholarship Fund
During her five years of service to Revolution Lacrosse as Director of Operations, Christina was an inspiration to hundreds of young women, nurturing, mentoring, and coaching them so that with confidence they could seek out their passions and pursue their dreams. This fund will provide support to young female athletes who demonstrate the values Christina espoused through access to classes, clinics, and associated athletic activities.
Affordable Housing Fund
Christina was an active and enthusiastic participant and supporter of Bike & Build, working to raise money and awareness for affordable housing. This fund will work with established affordable housing organizations in order to provide support for both building homes and educating communities about the affordable housing crisis in the country.

I left a personal message on the main page but want to invite you and others to consider different ways we could coordinate our activities. We set up http://www.sylviabinghamfund.org to be a legacy to our daughter killed at age 22 in Cleveland biking to work. We also want to support organizations promoting street safety as well as support groups representing the kind of social activism Sylvia believed in. Steve Bingham
I saw the latest article on WHNT about the foundation. As one of the League Cycling Instructors with the League of American Bicyclists from Alabama, I’m wondering how we can work with the foundation to improve cycling safety, perhaps in coordination with the Alabama Bicycle Coalition? We have 22 LCIs in Alabama that teach both motorists & cyclists how to be safer on the roads.
