Many of the 70 children who attend the CHS Summer Camp program do not have working bicycles.
CHS has arranged to take ten of these student to Free Ride for a once a week, eight session course in choosing and fixing up a bicycle. The educational experience is very much enjoyed by the students and in addition to increasing their knowledge everyone gets to take home a bike! Due to limited funds, the money to support these sessions must be sought outside of the general, sliding scale tuition which only covers 20% of the basic funding for the summer camp. That is why we are asking for your help!
By sponsoring one CHS kid (for $100) to attend these classes, they will recieve:
• 8 classes on bike maintenance and repair
• A helmet, lock, and lights
• The bike they built!
We’re reaching out to the Pittsburgh bike community and the general public to find these funds. If you’d like to write a check to sponsor a CHS student or make a donation online, all donations are tax deductible and anything is appreciated. If you donate online please make sure to fill out the donation designation field as ‘Build a Bike Program’. For more information email bike@ography.us
