Review for Bikes For Kids Utah, Draper, UT, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I'm a volunteer board member of Bikes for Kids Utah too, and really enjoy being involved. We give 1,000 bikes, helmets and locks to 2nd grade children attending Title 1 schools in Utah. Kids at those schools tend to be lower income kids and often their parents can't afford to give them bikes.

We host two to three fundraising rides in conjunction with our annual May Bike giveaway. It's very cool to see 300+ riders of all types riding to help provide bikes for the kids. It's even way more fun to see all the kids arrive at the bike giveaway and the huge smiles on their faces when they get their bikes.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

helping kids get a bike. A bike helps them gain confidence and gets them out of the house for some exercise.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

get more riders participating in the May fundraising rides, more donors and volunteers.

Role:  Board Member & Helped promote and produce the event.
