Variety Distributes Bikes
Variety,The Children’s Charity of Iowa, distributed bikes, bike helmets and bike locks on Saturday, June 30th to 101 preselected children. The bikes were given to children who do not have bikes of their own and have been sponsored by Bank of America in Des Moines. Bikes go hand in hand with being a kid, but for many kids in our community, the prospect of having their own bike is only a dream.
The lucky 101 children applied for and were awarded bikes, helmets, and bike locks at Howe Elementary School in Des Moines.
Volunteers from Bank of America and Young Variety helped make sure that all the bicycles and helmets were adjusted to fit each child.
ABOUT VARIETY:
