Bikes for Kids Utah Holds Successful Fundraising Ride; Gives Bicycles to Children
Bikes for Kids Utah held a 3K family bike ride, a 50K ride and also an exclusive ride with Dave Zabriskie on Saturday, October 6th. Zabriskie is a Salt Lake City native and is the third American to participate in Tour de France. The ride was held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The rides benefited bicycle items that were given to children that same day. New bicycles, helmets, bike locks and instructions were given to 1,000 underpriviledged Utah second graders.
“Bikes for Kids Utah was successful on so many fronts,” said Debbie Reid, founder and executive director of Bikes for Kids Utah. “We had great support from the community, Dave Zabriskie, sponsors, presenters, volunteers and the cyclists. Seeing a smile on the face of one child while receiving a bike was enough. Seeing hundreds of smiling faces made it even better.”
Bikes for Kids Utah fundraises for their project through multiple sponsorships, a fundraising dinner with a silent auction and several fundraising bicycle rides. The fundraising dinner and silent auction raised more than $11,000. Sponsors include: Costco, Intermountain Financial Group, Mass Mutual, Murray City Rotary and SoBe Life Water.
