Its here! Who is ready to make some Dream Bikes come true?!
Thanksgiving may be tomorrow, but I’ve always been one to fast forward to the rest of the holiday season, especially when that involves…. Holiday Kids Bike Giveaway!
Check out this page for beautiful, colorful, descriptive Dream Bike Drawings from the 500+ applicants we have received for 2019. Some are detailed bicycles, some are… abstract (still better than what I could draw)! No matter the look of the Dream Bike, every single drawing we receive will be fulfilled.
Even the ones with no drawings, even the blank ones. Every kid deserves a bicycle. No matter what. While the Dream Bike drawings tell us captivating (sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, sometimes downright funny) stories, it’s likely that the kids who submit blank applications are facing really tough barriers that we don’t see.
We recently received 5 blank applications referred to us by the Jannus EO Starling Project.
From their page:
“EO’s Starling Project is a Boise-based multicultural women’s mentoring program focused on fostering the advancement of young adult refugee women enrolled in higher education, ages 18-25, to maximize their potential as future leaders.”
Okay, how lucky are we to not only be in a city that constantly works to be a welcoming community for all, but also have nonprofits like Jannus that provide amazing programs such as the Starling Project? There is no doubt that these women are working hard. So hard to hurdle barriers many of us don’t face, completing a college degree, settling into their new home country, or being a mother. Reading about the Starling Project and the women they serve has me so grateful that support like yours can help them too.
When you adopt a Dream Bike for Holiday Kids Bike Giveaway, you are helping strong women within this program provide more than just a bicycle to their kids. You are providing them access to our community, an easier way to get to school, you are providing them limitless opportunities to become whatever they want to be.
We have bundled the Starling Project dream bikes into one adoption package so that you can make a big impact with one, multiple bike adoption purchase. You can look for additional bundled adoption packages as we get all 500+ applications processed!
Today our Adopt-a-Bike program launches, and today for $50, $100 or more, you can impact your neighbors of Boise, including the kids mentioned above.
