In Davie, Florida, a special holiday ritual took center stage on Monday. This event holds a significant place in the local community as it marks the 42nd annual Rick Case Bikes for Kids giveaway, which took place at Rick Case Honda in Davie. Rita Case emphasized the importance of this tradition, stating, "We do it every year because there’s a need, and there’s people that have bikes that they no longer need."

Bringing Joy with Donated Bicycles

Each year, dozens of gently used bicycles, donated by the community, are presented as gifts to a group of children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. This act of kindness not only provides children with a means of transportation but also brings a sense of excitement and joy during the holiday season. As recipient Samorah Mesidor said, "I feel good about my new bike. I actually had a bike at home, but it doesn’t work anymore. It got rusted." These donated bicycles play a crucial role in the lives of these children.

The Significance of Over 40 Years

According to Rick Case, since 1982, Rick Case Bikes for Kids has been collecting and donating bicycles. Over the years, they have managed to collect and distribute an astonishing number of over 120,000 bicycles. This long-standing tradition has become an integral part of the South Florida holiday scene, touching the lives of countless children.

Accepting Donations Through December 22

Bicycle donations are still being welcomed at any Rick Case vehicle dealership until December 22. This provides an opportunity for the community to continue contributing to this worthy cause and help more children get on bikes. By participating in this donation drive, individuals can make a real difference in the lives of those in need.Click here for more information.
