  • Bikes for Disadvantaged Children

    WISH FOR WHEELS EXISTS TO EMPOWER CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES WITH THE GIFT OF A NEW BIKE AND HELMET. OUR COMMUNITIES ARE STRENGTHENED AS VOLUNTEERS COME TOGETHER TO SERVE THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THROUGH THE GIFT OF A NEW BICYCLE AND HELMET, WE TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF 2ND GRADERS IN ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES, BROADENING THEIR SCOPE FOR PERSONAL GROWTH AND A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WHILE BUILDING THEIR CONFIDENCE AS THEY MASTER A NEW SKILL. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2004, WISH FOR WHEELS HAS GIFTED OVER 94,000 BIKES AND CONNECTED OVER 500 COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR VOLUNTEERS TO OVER 300 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE A NEW BIKE AND HELMET TO EVERY TITLE 1 SECOND GRADER IN THE US.
