Community Children to Benefit from the Bikes for Tikes Program by Boca West Children’s Foundation

Boca Raton, FL — The joys of summertime bike rides will be made possible for hundreds of local kids thanks to the Boca West Children’s Foundation’s (BWCF) annual Bikes for Tikes program.   Bikes for Tikes provides a bike and helmet to children who may not have the opportunity to experience the rite of passage of owning a bicycle.

“Our recipients will include students from Roots & Wings who reach their target reading level during the school year, as well as Pre-K graduates from the YMCA and Fuller Center,” said Pamela Weinroth, Executive Director/COO of Boca West Children’s Foundation. “The generosity and support we receive from the community makes a world of difference in a child’s life!”

The campaign is kicking off now as summertime nears and members of the community are invited to support the program.  A donation of $160 will provide a child with a bike and helmet.

“Seeing the joy on the kids’ faces as they receive their bikes is truly priceless and is a testament to the impact that this program has on these children’s lives,” said Richard Zenker, Board Chair of the Boca West Children’s Foundation.

Sponsors include Let’s Have a Smile Foundation and Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
