Thank you for Making our Bikes Drive a Huge Success!

We, at SHARE, would like to thank our donors, supporters, Working Bikes, which is our partner in the bikes project, volunteers and the Board of Directors for all their contributions, which made our bikes drive a huge success last Sunday, April 15. We collected 220 bikes and counting! We were hoping to collect 100 bikes, which is the maximum other organizations have collected in single bikes drive. Our bikes drive was so successful to the point that Working Bikes, our partner, is calling it a “historic” bikes drive.

This was all possible because of your personal commitment, generosity and kindness.

As a bonus to the bikes drive, we baked cookies using a sun oven and both volunteers and donors enjoyed eating our sun oven baked cookies. It was quite a party!

Thank you for sacrificing your time and resources to make sure that we have a successful bikes drive. Our special thanks also go to Wild Oats

I would like to borrow Dr. Deer’s expression to say to all of you who were physically at the bikes drive and to others who were with us in thought, “May what you share come back to you in the way you need!”

Dr. Patricia Deer is the Chairperson of the SHARE Board of Directors.

WAIT, THERE IS ONE MORE WAY YOU CAN HELP US. . . .

If you could not make it to the bikes drive, but know somebody could potentially donate a bicycle, please download the event flyer here and pass it along. We are still collecting bicycles!
