GET KIDS ACTIVE NOW MORE THAN EVER

MyCycle, powered by Bike Fort Collins, is excited to announce an innovative collaboration that combines corporate philanthropy, team building, and employee engagement through bike build and assembly events. This unique model not only fosters a sense of community within participating organizations but also results in brand new bikes for children in our community. These events provide an excellent opportunity for companies to engage their employees in meaningful activities while contributing to a worthy cause.

Our mission is to transform the lives of 2nd graders from low-income communities by providing them with new bikes and helmets. This initiative aims to broaden their opportunities for personal growth and promote a healthy lifestyle. By giving these children the gift of mobility, we empower them to explore their surroundings, gain confidence, and develop a love for physical activity. Our mission aligns perfectly with Bike Fort Collins’ ongoing work with the Poudre School District through the Safe Routes to School program, which encourages safe and active transportation for students.

We invite you to join us in making a difference. Your support can help us reach more children and have a lasting impact on their lives. Whether through financial contributions, volunteering at our events, or corporate sponsorships, there are many ways to get involved. Together, we can create a healthier, more active future for the next generation. Let’s come together to inspire and empower our youth, fostering a community that values health, wellness, and the joy of cycling.

300 bike GOAL

We are seeking funding to provide bicycles for the following Title 1 elementary schools within the Poudre School District. These schools serve a significant number of students from low-income families, and we believe that providing bikes will greatly benefit the students’ physical health, social development, and overall well-being. Specifically, we aim to support the 2nd-grade students in these schools, who collectively represent approximately 300 children. Your generous contributions will help us ensure that these young students have access to bicycles, enabling them to enjoy the benefits of outdoor activities, develop a sense of independence, and foster a love for cycling that can last a lifetime. The schools we are focusing on are listed below.

• Bauder Elementary School
• Harris Elementary School
• Irish Elementary School
• Laurel Elementary School
• Putnam Elementary School

In our first year, we funded 257 bikes and helmets, over 350 in 2021, and another 290 last year. For the past two years, we’ve been able to provide a bike and helmet to every student in need. We aim to reach our goal of 300 once again in 2024.
