Bike Donation Helps Area Families During Holiday Season
Academy Sports + Outdoors and OKC Dodgers Baseball Foundation donate 100 children’s bikes and helmets to Latino Community Development Agency in OKC
Dozens of children’s bicycles sat lined up all shiny and new outside of the Academy Sports + Outdoors location on South Walker Avenue in Oklahoma City on a recent chilly December morning.
Inside the store, a dozen more bikes surrounded a festive holiday display with balloons and a sign reading “Merry Christmas.”
In the middle of the display, Oklahoma City Dodgers mascot Brooklyn joined members of the OKC Dodgers Baseball Foundation, Academy Sports + Outdoors and the Latino Community Development Agency for a donation presentation.
Academy Sports + Outdoors, in partnership with the OKC Dodgers Baseball Foundation, donated 100 children’s bikes and helmets to the LCDA earlier this month in preparation for the holiday season. The bikes were then gifted to families in need identified through the LCDA.
After brief opening remarks, volunteers from the OKC Dodgers front office and Academy Sports + Outdoors helped load the new bikes onto a 25-foot U-Haul truck, which then delivered the new bikes to awaiting recipient families.
