Rick's Fantastic Bike Sale Was A Record-Breaker!

Kids ‘n Kinship is thankful to Rick Anderson for holding his 6th Annual Bike Sale and donating the proceeds to support our organization!  

This year he raised a record-breaking $12,924  ($1278 more than last year) from the sale of 119 bikes.  Rick receives donated bikes and fixes them up to sell each year.  In six sales he has raised $46,584 for Kids 'n Kinship!   

Kids 'n Kinship also wishes to thank Rick and his volunteers who help make the bike sale a success volunteering that day to keep things running smoothly.  As a small non-profit, Kids 'n Kinship especially appreciates these funds to be able to continue to serve youth ages 5-16 by matching them with a mentor individual, couple, or family.
