Happy Holidays for Sandburg Elementary Kids

Wheels’ volunteers Alan and Jamie dropped off 34 refurbished bikes and new helmets in mid December for “Earners” at Sandberg Elementary School in Madison. All the recipients will do 10 hours of volunteer work to earn their bikes!

PE teacher Amanda does an amazing job coordinating bikes for the kids at Sandburg and said, “Your generosity has changed our community.  Kids are out riding, smiling and having fun!  We appreciate you, our Bike Angels." Wheels appreciates partnering with Amanda to help get kids on bikes!
