Wheels for Winners Wish You a Wonderful Holiday Season!

We are thankful for being able to refurbish over 500 bikes this year and conduct 43 "free pop up" bike repair events, repairing 643 bikes (all records).  It has been a very productive year.  We are very thankful for the community support and our volunteers that made this possible! Without you, we couldn't accomplish our mission.  THANK YOU!.

Please be aware that the annual "Big Share" campaign will be conducted in February 2026.  We look forward to your continued support!

Support Wheels' Bike Earners thru Workplace Giving

In 2025 we anticipate providing 500 refurbished bikes to earners (people who do 10+ hours of community service) at no charge. Our focus is on getting bikes to youth and young adults in lower income communities.

It costs us $50 an earner to provide a refurbished bike, new helmet and lock. Your workplace giving donation helps put SMILES on the faces of 500 bike earners. Biking is so important. It provides independence, getting outside, exercise, getting to school and fun activities.

Wheels is 100% volunteer run - 100% of your donation goes to getting bikes to youth and young adults.

If your employer has an annual Workplace Giving Campaign to nonprofits and Community Shares of Wisconsin is an option, you can support Wheels for Winners with a donation! This includes state and university employees. Please give now - Thank you!

The Community Shares workplace giving campaign is “donor-driven.” You can designate (or direct) your donations to Wheels for Winners and we will receive 100% of your gift. Check with your workplace giving coordinator about how to give to Wheels via Community Shares of Wisconsin. Or use the new Community Shares secure ePledge platform!
