A NEWSLETTER FROM YOUR FRIENDS AT ASR!
Happy Spring ASR Members!!
This winter has been another great season for Alaska Safe Riders. We have presented in the far reaches of the state by road, by trail, and by airplane. We also had the privilege of hearing stories from people of this great state.
The growing list of new members gives us the fuel to march on and spread the vision of safety and enjoyment for our great sport. The excitement for our programs continues to grow along with the requests for more training. Our pool of instructors also continues to grow along with their contagious enthusiasm. Thanks for being part of this amazing movement!
Mike Buck, Executive Director
From classrooms to on the snow training, this season ASR covered thousands of miles by air, road, and sled to visit dozens of classrooms, teaching thousands of individuals. All thanks to the support of our members and donors. Learn More!

This summer, thanks to support from the Alaska Community Foundation and the Mat-Su Health Foundation, ASR will be hosting a series of ATV safety training programs for youth from age 10-18. This course is normally $350 per person but thanks to our donors support, we are able to offer this program to youth across Alaska for just $100 per student. Don’t have the funds to get your kids involved, reach out and ask about our scholsarhip opportunities. We have a few, limited spaces we can offer to those in-need and at-risk. Contact us today to ask more about this special program. Let us help keep your kiddos safe while they are out enjoying Alaska on their off-road vehicles!
