More than 400 students at Carver Elementary have a new set of wheels, thanks to Variety's traditional bike program!
Each child received a brand-new bike, helmet, and lock, giving them the opportunity to get outside, stay active, and enjoy time riding with friends and family.
For some families, purchasing a bike for their child isn't always in the budget. Having a bike of their own gives these kids a chance to experience the fun, independence, and excitement that comes with riding.
Making the giveaway happen took a lot of helping hands. Volunteers from DLL, Venerable, Knapp Properties, Syverson Strege, PDM Precast Inc., Holmes Murphy, Principal Financial Group, and the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) came together to assemble the bikes.
The Phyllis & Gene Baker Wheels to Ride Fund helped make the bikes possible, while Bike World completed safety checks on every bike before they were delivered. Triplett Office Solutions, ServiceMaster by Rice, and additional volunteers helped transport the bikes to Carver Elementary.
A huge thank-you to everyone who donated their time and resources to make this giveaway happen. More than 400 kids now have a bike of their own, and we're excited to think about all the rides, adventures, and memories ahead!
