“RCU understands the importance of fostering the well-being of our youth, connecting them with the environment, and providing the freedom of transportation,” said Brett Martinez, President and CEO of Redwood Credit Union. “In addition to helping kids, an event like this inspires our team members. It’s an opportunity to bring everyone together for a purpose that elevates our connection with each other and our communities.”
Eleven nonprofit partners in five North Bay counties and San Francisco selected the children to receive the bikes. Representatives from Specialized, where RCU purchased the bikes, other bike clubs, and the Trope Group were onsite to ensure quality bike-building and also helped transport the bikes.
The 11 nonprofit partners include:
“Kids have a lot of screen time these days—whether it’s their computer, phone, or television—and it all adds up to a lot of sedentary time,” said Martinez. “We’re hoping these bikes inspire kids to be more active, refresh their minds, and explore their communities. We want them to feel excited, valued, and invested in with this gift.”
