Boys & Girls Club of Metro Denver Bicycle Donation
Just in time for the holidays, Dalbey Education CEO Russ Dalbey donated 100 bicycles and helmets to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver.
Dalbey was once a member of the U.S. Olympic Development Cycling Team and sponsors the Successful Living Professional Cycling Team. His love for cycling and desire to give back to the community led him to make this donation.
“Receiving the gift of a bike changed the direction of my life when I was young, and I’d like to see every young person get the same opportunity I did. However, many members of our community have difficulty affording a bicycle,” Dalbey said. “I’m glad we can now give back to the community and provide 100 deserving members of the Boys & Girls Clubs with new bikes for the holidays,” he said.
Kids in the Boys & Girls Club earn “Club Bucks” for doing homework, helping out around the club or other activities. They are able to spend their Club Bucks at the holiday parties to purchase gifts for themselves or others. This year, each club will receive several of the donated bicycles for this program.
“Most years we’re fortunate to have even one bike at each holiday party. Thanks to Russ and Dalbey Education, each branch will have several bikes available for the kids. We’re sure these will be some of the most popular items up for bid,” said Kathy Luna, chief operating officer, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver.
