In honor of the National Day of Service on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the Anchorage Park Foundation and the Parks & Recreation Department will celebrate its third annual 50 Bikes/50 Kids event from 11 a.m. to 4p.m. on Monday, January 18, 2010 at the Spenard Recreation Center.

Become a fan of 50 Bikes/50 Kids on Facebook!

50 Bikes/50 Kids is a partnership of the Anchorage Park Foundation, the Parks & Recreation Department and Anchorage businesses and provides the Anchorage Community with meaningful service opportunities and rewards deserving youth with their first bicycle. Many local businesses have sponsored bicycles and also provided volunteers to assemble them.

We are actively seeking volunteers for 50 Bikes/50 Kids 2010! Please contact Abbey Harding at hardingas@muni.org or 343-4121 for more information.

The 50 recipients, between ages 9 and 17, were selected by local agencies serving disadvantaged youth, such as the NAACP, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, UAA Trio Program, Catholic Social Services, ASD Title I Coordinators, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Anchorage.

Thank you to our hundreds of sponsors!
