RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – January 23, 2025 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Creating opportunities for the next generation of kids together.
Over two decades ago, Ryan Dungey teamed up with Dunlop Motorcycle Tires when the Minnesota native began his journey at the amateur nationals. That initial connection ignited a remarkable 11-year professional career, featuring an incredible nine championship titles (seven with Dunlop), nearly 75 race victories, and countless podium finishes!
For the very first time, Ryan and Dunlop are joining forces to open up amazing opportunities for the next generation! With the backing of Dunlop and the incredible Team Dunlop Elite riders, we’re set to raise essential funds that will help children lead vibrant and active lives, all while supporting the battle against childhood cancer. The funds raised will go directly to All Kids Bike and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
“Dunlop has been an exceptional partner and supporter, not only of the sport and me but now of the foundation as well. Their commitment to advancing the sport aligns incredibly well with our mission to create opportunities for the next generation of children. Upon joining a factory team, I swiftly realized the significant opportunity and responsibility that come with being part of a team and having a platform. Working with this next generation of riders is truly a privilege. I can personally attest that there’s nothing more uplifting than witnessing kids uplifting each other. Through this partnership, we have the chance to impart a valuable lesson on the importance of leveraging their platform for positive change. I believe we are on the brink of something remarkable, as we are set to unite the top amateur mini-bike racers from across the country to raise funds for other children. I know that each of these racers will discover how they can make a meaningful impact beyond the track.”- Ryan Dungey #5
With All Kids Bike joining the ranks of the foundation’s beneficiaries, Dungey and Dunlop are eager to inspire the next generation to pursue their passions through the freedom and boundless opportunities that come from two wheels. Dungey’s own life was transformed by riding, and All Kids Bike embodies the mission of enhancing childhood mobility—both physically and mentally—by providing no-cost Learn-to-Ride programs in public schools nationwide.
“We’re thrilled to partner with the Ryan Dungey Foundation, which perfectly aligns with one of our missions to grow the sport of motorcycling,” stated Chad Geer, Director of MC Product, Marketing & Motorsports at Dunlop Motorcycle Tires. “Through our Team Dunlop program, our involvement in amateur racing and offering the latest technologies in mini-bike sized tires, we are supporting the future of the sport. It’s inspiring to see young people flourish while engaging in outdoor activities like motorcycling and biking. We’re excited about the foundation’s efforts to create opportunities for both new and experienced riders to get started, all while supporting incredible organizations like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and All Kids Bike, which are doing wonderful work for children in need.”
