We buy and build 120 to 130 bikes (cost= $60.00 each) from a non-profit called "Bike for Kids" and then distribute at an under performing school. This grant will impact 120 children and their families. This project is to be completed in December as the Club members surprise the kids in the gymnasium of the chosen school.
Addendum to Project Description (added after the project was signed)
1 - Bikes for Kids purchased 100 new bikes and helmets. The Bikes came boxed and Escondido Sunrise had a "rotary work day" at which all the bikes were assembled and prepared to be taken to Conway School. Assembly occurred at the shop of Aelott Air Conditioning.
2 - 100 3rd grade children received new bikes.
3 - Children from Title 1 elementary schools are provided bikes and helmets so they can be "kids" with bikes
4 - approximately 25
5 - the Rotarians assembled all the bikes and ensured they were safely "put together." Additionally, a number of Rotarians attended the "Bike Reveal" distribution ceremony.
6 - several "Club friends" helped with the project
8 - $7,004.
