Centennial Elementary School 1st graders were the recent recipients of new bikes and helmets, thanks to Wish for Wheels and Colorado Insurance. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Wish for Wheels partners with companies and organizations to make these bike giveaways possible, with the goal of improving quality of life for kids and their communities through health, education, safety, community and leadership.

“Our unique model bundles corporate philanthropy, team building, and employee engagements through bike builds, to deliver brand new bikes to kids in the community,” said Wish for Wheels. “We are successful thanks to the generosity of our corporate partners and volunteers in the community.”

Employees from Colorado Insurance, who funded the new bikes and helmets, came to Centennial Elementary to assemble the bikes, with help from the school’s 1st graders. After each bike passed a quality control check, students had the opportunity to practice riding. A very special day for Centennial 1st graders, helmeted-heads and smiles were abundant!
