What can a Variety Program include?

Our inclusive programs create opportunities for children to learn, grow and belong — from sports days and camps to bike programs, financial literacy initiatives and school-based inclusion workshops.

Bikes for Kids

Giving the gift of freedom, independence, exercise and joy to children who are living with a disability, illness, experiencing disadvantage, or those who have never been fortunate enough to have a bike of their own.
