Community Human Services Build a Bike Program Needs Your Support!

Posted Jul 16, 2008 by scott under spare parts

Many of the 70 children who attend the CHS Summer Camp program do not have working bicycles.

CHS has arranged to take ten of these student to Free Ride for a once a week, eight session course in choosing and fixing up a bicycle. The educational experience is very much enjoyed by the students and in addition to increasing their knowledge everyone gets to take home a bike! Due to limited funds, the money to support these sessions must be sought outside of the general, sliding scale tuition which only covers 20% of the basic funding for the summer camp. That is why we are asking for your help!

By sponsoring one CHS kid (for $100) to attend these classes, they will recieve:

• 8 classes on bike maintenance and repair

• A helmet, lock, and lights

• The bike they built!

We’re reaching out to the Pittsburgh bike community and the general public to find these funds. If you’d like to write a check to sponsor a CHS student or make a donation online, all donations are tax deductible and anything is appreciated. If you donate online please make sure to fill out the donation designation field as ‘Build a Bike Program’. For more information email bike@ography.us

or make a check payable to CHS Youth Programs and send it to:
