The Cycling Development Foundation
The Cycling Development Foundation (CDF) aims to increase corporate engagement and exposure into cycling as an exercise and sport through community based initiatives.
The CDF aims to add value to our partnerships with corporations so that each arrangement is be tailored to the needs of a corporation.
We do this by hosting community based events on your behalf or by your corporation becoming a designated partner of the CDF.
Partnering for development
Proceeds from partnering with the CDF is directed to CDF junior and female cycling teams. The funds aim to provide opportunity for athletes that might otherwise access their potential in sport.
The CDF development pathway is for junior male and female cyclists from local to elite professionals competing at the highest level in Europe in our Belgian racing team.
Partnering with the CDF allows corporations access to key health and wellness programs for our own and community benefit while also assisting people who otherwise might not be able to reach their potential in sport and exercise.
