Bikes For Kids Program

Through a bike reward program, a partnership with the school system and 2 years of classroom study, we inspire third and fourth grade Title 1 students to plan now for post high school education. Utilizing 3 character-building books and required essays, we deliver hope for BIG dreams that build clarity, confidence, responsibility, kindness and determination. It is our goal to overcome poverty and entitlement with the lesson, “Nothing is given, everything is earned.”

History of the Bike For Kids Program

Bikes for Kids Program has impacted over 80,000 economically disadvantaged children since 2002. Our focus is to provide character building books and classroom instruction while rewarding the student’s reading and completed essay with a bike and helmet. With the support of sponsors from across the United States, we have impacted Title 1 students in hundreds of underserved elementary schools. It is our intention to dramatically expand our presence to every classroom in the country. We do this with thanks to the generous support of corporations and individuals seeking to serve those in need in their communities.

The children that are served by the Bikes for Kids Program are Title 1 students. Title 1 students are from families who are struggling to live with incomes below the poverty level. We help with character building books and classroom instruction. Title I elementary schools are identified for sponsorship on the basis of the Department of Education’s School Accountability Report Card (SARC) Report and account for 67% of all elementary schools – 21 million children living in poverty in America.
