Gary Chin's Bike-A-Thon Fundraising Page
Make a tangible impact in the lives of youth in Boston and overseas
I have had the incredible honor of working at Bikes Not Bombs since April of this year, and I now have the privilege of riding in my first ever Bike-A-Thon. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Governor's recent restrictions on outdoor gatherings affecting the one day event, I have decided to make my Bike-A-Thon a week long challenge and I invite you to join me as I share writings, videos, and pictures of my experience!
I am asking you to make a donation to BNB because the need to raise funds is more important than ever; here at BNB, we reclaim bikes that would otherwise be discarded, and use them to empower people to transform not only their lives and future, but the lives and futures of their communities as well. These bicycles are used to create jobsand programs that cannot exist without the support of our generous donors.
Our Impact:
Since 1984: Over 75,000 bikes have been reclaimed and shipped to over 10 partners in 14 different countries around the world
Since 1990: We have engaged and trained over 4,000 Boston-area youth providing for many of them their first job experience
Since 1994: We have run a successful bike shop social enterprise, refurbishing and selling thousands of reclaimed bicycles. The profit from the bike shop funds our local and international development work.
