Bike Elf gives children and young adults brand-new bicycles for their participation in structured learning programs.
Bike Elf works through partner organizations – including Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley , Wesley House Community Center, and the Boys & Girls Club Smoky Mountains – to provide brand new bicycles to children and young adults who successfully complete an educational curriculum. Our slogan is Read, Write & Ride®, but we are all about the “read and write,” with the “ride” merely providing motivation.
Since its start in 2015, Bike Elf has provided thousands of bicycles to young people in our community who earned them. These children learned the importance of focusing on a long-term goal and working toward that goal. While students view the bicycle as a reward, we know the true reward is their pride in accomplishment.
