 Our Mission
Our mission is clear and focused, to provide a healthy lifestyle to underprivileged children, along with recreation and self confidence, while giving them the most convent gift as a child, while supporting safety in biking.
How We Accomplish Our Goals
Our mission to reach underprivileged children is accomplished by our close communication with over 1,000 organizations throughout the country who present us with a need for the communities they serve.
Our funding comes from people like you who choose to make a difference. Through online donations, contributions through the mail and numerous fundraising efforts we continue to honor Mark Reynolds through the Children's First Bike Fund.
How Donations Are Used
Our expenses are very low, other than general business expenses, such as printing, postage dues to associated clubs, etc., there is absolutely no ADMINISTRATIVE SALARIES. We direct our donations to purchasing new bikes and helmets for the less fortunate children.
