benefit programs both competitive and affordable. |

Community Involvement
In 1994, two local businessmen realized the need a lot of families experience at Christmas and asked themselves how they could make a
difference in someone's life. Their conclusion was to challenge one another to raise the most money within their companies to purchase bicycles. Those bikes would be donated to The Salvation Army in Charlotte and distributed to
local less fortunate children through the Christmas Bureau.
For many of these children their dream is a brand new bicycle. The first year, 17 bicycles were purchased from the fundraiser and enhanced 17 families' Christmas. The businessmen's efforts have increased from a month long project to a year-round project to raise enough money to make as many children as possible happier during the Christmas season. Eleven years later, the need within Charlotte is still apparent and their challenge is being extended to you.
As you know, every dollar of donations goes to purchasing bicycles, with zero administration expense. The Spokes Group pays for all administration expenses on a personal basis. We have been able to get a quality bike, helmet, and assembly for $70.00. In 2006 we officially
raised $141,781.
If you are interested in donating or volunteering, please contact Larry Goodgame or Caroline Smith or visit the website at
