Englewood is gearing up for a heartwarming event as local organizers Kathi Obendorfer and Elaine Miller call for last-minute donations of new bicycles. The duo aims to distribute these bikes to children in need during a giveaway event scheduled for this Saturday, December 9, 2023.
The initiative is part of a broader community effort to ensure that every child has the opportunity to receive a new bike. Obendorfer and Miller have been working diligently to gather bicycles, but they are reaching out to the community for additional support. They hope that with the help of local residents and businesses, they can maximize the number of bikes distributed.
“We want to make this a memorable day for the kids,” said Kathi Obendorfer. “Every bike represents a chance for a child to experience joy and freedom.” The event promises to be a festive occasion, with activities planned to engage families and children.
As of now, the organizers have collected a significant number of bicycles but are still short of their goal. They are appealing for donations, encouraging anyone with the means to contribute to step forward. “Even one bike can make a difference,” added Elaine Miller. “We are grateful for any support we receive.”
The giveaway will take place at the Englewood Community Center, beginning at 10:00 AM. In addition to the bike distribution, the event will feature games, food, and entertainment designed to celebrate the spirit of giving and community involvement.
Local businesses have already shown support by donating funds and resources, but more contributions are needed to ensure that every child has the chance to receive a bike. The organizers are accepting donations until the end of the day on Friday, December 8, 2023.
Residents interested in donating can drop off new bicycles at the community center or contact the organizers directly through social media channels for further arrangements. This initiative not only highlights the importance of community support but also emphasizes the joy that comes with giving during the holiday season.
As the day approaches, Obendorfer and Miller remain optimistic about reaching their goal. “We believe in the power of community,” said Miller. “Together, we can make this happen for our kids.” The countdown is on as they prepare for what promises to be a joyous occasion for the Englewood community.
