As America’s birthplace, Philadelphia will be the centerpiece of the United States’ 250th birthday celebration, Wawa Welcome America is Philadelphia’s premier summer festival. Celebrating freedom and independence from Juneteenth to July 4th. In 2026, Philadelphia will host the 250th anniversary of the United States, and Wawa Welcome America will be a major part of the festivities, which will be a two-week celebration. The festival will include city-wide programming with events like the Independence Day Parade and Party on the Parkway

and then we’re off to DC…

as Washington D.C. will be a central location for celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence

The city will host various events and initiatives as part of the nationwide America250 commemoration

The Woodside One Wheelers have been selected as participants in BOTH of these celebrations and will travel to Philly & DC for our 11th major Trip

With a sold out attendance of nearly 3000 hyped up fans, our seasoned performance members and our newest qualified performance riders got to feel the excitement and energy from a crowd at the Portland Expo during the Maine Celtics home opener half-time.

As we continue to be an active part of the community in which we live in, we wanted to partake in this dynamic fundraiser. Held on a cold December day after Christmas with the warmth of friends at the Mt. Ararat High School Gymnasium.

This dynamic alumni basketball game, paired amongst rivals across the river (Brunswick & Mt. Ararat High Schools), known locally as the Green Bridge Classic– truly connecting our communities.

Our Woodside One Wheelers organization is very Thankful for the support of these communities throughout the year. It is our sincere pleasure to take part in these special performances with a wonderful crowd filling the bleachers with supporters of all ages!

*This Fundraiser for 2024 is for the Sam Sharpe Memorial Scholarship

Sam passed away from injuries sustained in a tragic boating accident in Harpswell this past August 2024.

Sunday December 18, 2023 went down in history for our organization as we performed for the 19,000 pumped up fans at a first time Boston Celtics pre-game show live in Boston.

During a live telecast at the TD Garden, the venue became an opportunity for our seasoned Performance Riders to pull together a newly created unique routine showing off their skillset of spins, turns and weaves on the parkay hardwood floor just before the Celtics played the Orlando Magic- a game to remember!

With a sold out season opener game of nearly 3000 in attendance, our One Wheelers mesmerized the crowd with their skills and dynamic moves on the new hardwood floor at the Portland Expo. As our first large performance of the new season with our largest group of members ever, our newest members got a taste of the limelight- surging their interest and excitement from the deafening noise of the crowd.
