Bike Giveaway


On Sunday, Variety the Children's Charity handed out 180 bikes to selected Boys and Girls Club kids. I'm on the board for Variety so I was out at the event and took these pictures. I've never seen such happy kids. It was like Christmas in September! Helpers and local police officers also helped fit the kids with helmets and the kids had to promise to always ride safely.
To learn more about the charity or to donate just go to www.varietyiowa.com. Our reporter Joe Augustine also did a nice story on the event, you can find it in the video section of our website.
