100 Bikes, 100 Helmets, 100 Smiles: Joy of Sharing in Action

This donations gives kids the changes to enjoy the simple happiness that riding a bike gives you.

Remember when you were a kid and you just needed some freedom so you got on your bike and started to peddle so fast, the wind through your hair, and the feeling that nothing could touch you.

All that from a bike? Oh yes.  

Bikes at this time of year aren’t just toys either, they help so much when it’s cold and children need to get to school faster.  

For the community, this donation does so much more then help kids. It truly fuels a bigger mission, to spread joy and impact everyone through kindness and connection.

This one donation is a simple reminder to nus that that no matter what size the donation, it helps.
