From a press release:

Action Suzuki of Mesquite, Texas is supplying and sponsoring Empower Your Future with Suzuki DRZ110 motorcycles.

Empower Your Future is a Federal Tax Exempt 501(3) non-profit organization started by Joe Chatham, a Dallas Police Motorcycle Officer and CMRA racer.

This program encourages students to take charge of their future and to know that their dreams are obtainable.

The program begins in a school auditorium with guest speakers who tell about their careers and passions and how they have become successful in life. Guest speakers have included Michael Martin, former Valvoline EMGO Suzuki racer, and others from the business community, arts, and athletics giving the students a well-rounded view of possibilities for channeling their own individual talents in the future.

The grande finale makes this program truly unique! After the presentation the students are treated to a motorcycle rodeo, where each student is individually supervised by an experienced volunteer sitting on back while riding. Some of the volunteer supervisors are current CMRA racers from the Village Idiots championship endurance team.

Empower Your Future has brought the program to 12 Dallas Area Public Schools. For more information go to www.empoweryourfuture.org.
