Bikes 4 Kids Utah to Donate 1,000 Bicycles to Utah Children
SALT LAKE CITY, UT (BRAIN)—Bikes 4 Kids Utah will hold its first ever bike ride fundraiser on Sept. 30 to provide new bicycles for 1,000 pre-qualified, underprivileged children from the Boys & Girls Club of Murray, the Guadalupe School and Rose Park Elementary, the non-profit organization announced
yesterday.
Along with the 1,000 bicycles, the children will also receive helmets, t-shirts and locks through the proceeds accrued from sponsorships, a fundraising dinner with silent auction and bicycle rides, including a ride with Salt Lake City native Dave Zabriskie, the third American ever to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.
"I looking forward to sharing something special with these children," Zabriskie said. "Cycling has been my life. It has provided me with a lot of freedom and taught me that exercise, discipline and responsibility can be fun. I can't wait to see the smiles on the faces of these kids when they get their bicycles."
Those wishing to participate and help raise funds can register on the Bikes 4 Kids Utah Web site at www.bikes4kidsutah.org.
