Kids in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County were treated to a holiday surprise at Rick Case Volkswagen in Davie.

As part of the Rick Case Bikes for Kids program, several kids were given a gently used bicycle donated by the community to the dealership at 3520 Weston Road.

The event gives kids the opportunity—a first for many—to have their own bike, offering them a sense of freedom, independence, and responsibility.

“Many people have bicycles in their garage they no longer need and we can match it up with a child that wouldn’t have an opportunity to have a bicycle. We all remember our first bicycle and what a sense of freedom,” said CEO Rita Case.

For 44 years, Rick Case Bikes for Kids has received more than 122,000 bicycles to distribute to the children of the Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, Women in Distress, and other local charitable organizations, brightening the holidays in local communities.

Rick Case Automotive Group dealerships in South Florida will continue to accept gently used bikes through Dec. 20. To donate, visit RickCase.com for hours of each dealership.
