Buddy Bike Supports Friendship Circle's Effort
to Provide 600 Special Needs Kids with Adaptive Bicycles
in The Great Bike Giveaway
The Great Bike Giveaway 2016 - March 8-30, 2016
 

North Miami Beach, FL, March 8, 2016 - Buddy Bike, LLC and other adaptive bicycle manufacturers have partnered with The Friendship Circle in their goal to provide 600 adaptive bicycles to special needs children in the fifth annual Great Bike Giveaway. The Great Bike Giveaway is currently in progress. It began on Tuesday, March 8 and will be open through March 30, 2016.

The Friendship Circle created the Great Bike Giveaway in honor of Michaela Noam Kaplan to give adaptive bikes to as many special children as possible and to offer them the same freedom, confidence and pride that everyone feels when they ride a bike for the first time.

This year's online contest has a new format created in the hopes that every entrant will receive an adaptive bicycle. Each entrant obtained a minimum of 10 Ambassadors to help promote their cause by obtaining votes and donations to increase their odds of receiving the adaptive bike of their choice.

 
DONATE to help 600 special needs kids receive adaptive bicycles!
