Another Successful 50 Bikes for 50 Kids
A special thank you to the Natomas Bike Shop for supporting our event again this year. Each year, John Buchanan and his staff provides invaluable support for this day to happen. The shop leverages its strong industry relationships to enable us to provide high-quality bicycles at a reduced cost, NBS mechanics attend the event to oversee the building process, and Scott Meyer leads the volunteer trainings prior to the event. With a total of 747 volunteer hours, our community has helped youth build confidence, a community-minded mentality, and a new way to embark on their path to independence. |

Boxes of unassembled parts have been transformed into brand-new bicycles, and are now in the hands of enthusiastic and inspiring North Natomas youth. 50 Bikes for 50 Kids 2019 was another successful exhibition of volunteerism, community, and character.

The bike recipients were nominated by community members based on their demonstration of the following character traits: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. A volunteer committee read and reviewed many, many nominations to select the fifty local kids.
