About Osborne
I'm Osborne Celestain, Jr., and my life's greatest transformation came after facing prostate cancer in 2018. This challenge became my blessing, teaching me that true freedom comes from serving others and living authentically.
After 33 years in the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry, I found my true calling in combining my passions. Today, as the founder of Cycling Tours by Osborne and Community Light Foundation, I share the joy of cycling with others, especially my children and grandchildren - moments that fill my heart with pure joy.
My roots in Tulsa, Oklahoma, my service in the United States Army, and my education at Oklahoma State University of Technology shaped who I am. But it was overcoming cancer through natural health treatments that taught me my most valuable lesson: when we break free from our self-imposed limitations, we find the power to shine our brightest light.
I choose to live my best life by being a light for others. This is who I am, and this is the journey I continue to embrace.

The Ride to Remember Black Wall Street honors the legacy of the Greenwood District and commemorates the victims, survivors, and enduring spirit of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The Black Towns of Oklahoma Bike Tour takes participants through several of Oklahoma's historic all-Black towns, promoting heritage tourism, supporting local economies, preserving important historical narratives, and demonstrating how cycling can bring people together to inspire healthier communities.
In addition to these signature events, the Foundation supports community wellness rides, nutrition education, food distribution initiatives, and collaborative programs that encourage physical activity and increase awareness of the connection between nutrition and long-term health.
Through our programs and partnerships, the Community Light Foundation works to create healthier lives, stronger neighborhoods, and more connected communities by fostering collaboration, promoting wellness, preserving history, and creating opportunities for future generations to thrive.
