THE 30th ANNUAL “RICK CASE BIKES FOR KIDS” PROGRAM PROVIDES CHILDREN IN NEED WITH BIKES THIS HOLIDAY

The “Rick Case Bikes for Kids” program, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, has provided thousands of needy children with a bicycle during the holidays since 1982, and is now collecting bikes for the 2011 holiday season from now through December 20, 2011. All bikes collected are distributed through area Boys & Girls Clubs as well as other charity organizations.

Many South Florida children are not fortunate enough to have a bike of their own. Fortunately, the Rick Case Bikes for Kids program, launched in 1982 by Rita and Rick Case of the Rick Case Automotive Group, has been making that dream a reality for needy children for 29 years. Rick Case Bikes for Kids makes it easy to get involved and help a needy child. Bikes in good condition are now being collected for the holiday season at any of the following Rick Case locations:

? Rick Case Honda / 15700 Rick Case Honda Way (I-75 at Griffin Road), Davie / 954-364-3000
? Rick Case Acura / 825 North State Road 7 (on 441 at Sunrise), Ft. Lauderdale / 954-587-1111

“This program is a way to put smiles on thousands of children’s faces,” said Rick Case, who reports that to date, more than 100,000 bikes have been donated in South Florida, Cleveland and Atlanta since the program’s founding. “Our community really comes together to make sure the children in the area can have the best holiday season possible.”
