Atlanta, GA – December 17, 2009 – Bahati Foundation Pro Cycling Team and Endure Media Group announce a partnership to produce a groundbreaking entertainment documentary series preliminarily entitled Bahati: Out of Compton.

“This project captures the essence of the human condition,” said Endure spokesperson Matthew Hall. “[Rahsaan] Bahati’s story is one of hope, compassion and excellence. We use cycling as a backdrop to tell [Rahsaan’s] story, and weave the excitement of the sport, the passion of the events and celebrity cache for tremendous impact on the community.”

Bahati: Out of Compton will blend professional footage with classic and current racing footage, behind-the-scenes screen shots, video interviews and charitable events to produce an action-packed series in high-definition. In the first season there are 6 shows with a total of 4 hours of run-time. In conjunction, [Endure Media] will create a dedicated online presence through digital and social media. “ This will catapult the efforts of the Bahati Foundation to positively impact the lives of inner-city and underprivileged youth by bringing our message into the homes of millions of viewers,” said Rahsaan Bahati, Founder of the Bahati Foundation.

Newport Beach, CA - November 3, 2009 – Transcend Sports, a partnership between Colorado Premier Training and RAHA SPORTS, has registered a UCI Continental team that will compete in the NRC series and international races. The Bahati Foundation Pro Cycling Team is currently in negotiation with three Pro Tour riders who will add great depth, experience and leadership to a new program. The roster will also include top-level domestic and international riders.

The Bahati Foundation is a non-profit organization that inspires and empowers underprivileged youth to rise above their circumstances. Statistically, those at greatest risk for poverty today are inner city families and single parent families. The problem of persistent poverty is a complex one that includes communities and individuals, who through no fault of their own, find themselves unable to make ends meet in this globalizing information-intensive world. In many families today, children cannot say they expect to be better off than their parents. This is perhaps the greatest challenge now facing our society.

Our goal is to work with our partners in helping today’s underprivileged youth overcome poverty. We provide the resources, support and inspiration to help young people succeed in life.

Founder and spokesperson champion cyclist Rahsaan Bahati says “this is a step in the right direction for cycling, the riders, our partners and most importantly, the hard hit underprivileged areas that need the support from organizations like the Bahati Foundation. I‘m thrilled and humbled at the same time to know I can be the difference in someone’s life by supporting this cycling team and I look forward to seeing the team in action."
