Team TWENTY28 is more than just a cycling team—it’s a nonprofit that provides direct support to young women with dreams of becoming both professional athletes and scholars. Operating under Tam Cycling 501(c)(3), Team TWENTY28 offers a range of programs designed to develop the whole athlete, empowering them to break barriers and redefine success in both their athletic and academic pursuits.
As the only professional team with an integrated junior program, TWENTY28 provides young athletes with invaluable experiences on the race course while reinforcing the values of perseverance and commitment that will serve them in the classroom and beyond.
At Team TWENTY28, we believe that success is not just measured by podium finishes but by the transformative power of combining athletic and academic achievement. As a nonprofit organization and professional cycling team, we are dedicated to developing the next generation of female athletes—empowering them to pursue their dreams both on the bike and in the classroom. Too often, talented young women face financial and resource barriers that limit their ability to reach their full potential in sport and education.
Our mission is to bridge those gaps by providing mentorship, funding, high-performance coaching, and academic support, ensuring that our athletes have every opportunity to thrive. Our program is designed to create a pathway to the professional ranks while also fostering personal growth, leadership, and educational success. We believe that a strong foundation in both sport and academics not only produces world-class athletes but also equips these young women with the skills and confidence to become future leaders—whether in cycling or beyond.
We invite you to join us in this mission to uplift and empower female athletes by investing in their journey, fueling their aspirations, and ensuring that every young woman has the chance to chase her dreams—no matter the obstacles.
Our vision rests on three core pillars—Education, Athletics, and Community—which guide our approach to creating opportunities for young women to succeed as educated athletes. Through scholarships, training programs, and a vibrant community network, we’re fostering the next generation of leaders who embody resilience, discipline, and ambition. With the support of our donors, we’re ensuring that young women from all backgrounds have the resources they need to thrive in sport and life.
Female athletes face unique financial challenges as they pursue careers in both athletics and education. Without sufficient resources, many promising athletes are forced to choose between training and academic commitments, often unable to fully invest in either. Team TWENTY28 bridges this gap, providing the support young women need to achieve their goals without compromise. When you donate, you help fund their dreams, fueling both their athletic pursuits and academic success.
Our cycling program offers hands-on development from junior training to professional racing. As a unified team, we prepare athletes to compete at every level, providing opportunities for mentorship, race experience, and a strong support system that reinforces their growth. Team TWENTY28 is dedicated to empowering athletes to excel on the bike, giving them the tools they need to reach their peak performance through a balanced schedule.
Community is the heart of Team TWENTY28. We actively engage with volunteers, partners, and supporters who share our commitment to empowering female athletes. Through events, partnerships, and outreach initiatives, we work to build a connected and supportive network for young women who are redefining what it means to be a leader, athlete, and scholar. By fostering a community that values inclusivity and opportunity, we aim to make an enduring impact.
Team TWENTY28 is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment. We are committed to ensuring that athletes from all backgrounds and cultures feel respected, supported, and empowered to reach their potential.
Together, we’re building a team that champions inclusivity, respect, and opportunity. We invite supporters to join us in this mission, ensuring every athlete feels valued.
