Building a bike for a child in need! How Bike World helps Variety - The Children's Charity ensure every child has access to play | Paid Content

The Variety telethon may have ended, but you can still support Variety - The Children's Charity by donating at varietyiowa.com | Paid Content

Bikes go hand in hand with being a kid, but for many children in our community, the prospect of having their own bike is only a dream. Variety works with Bike World to help make that dream a reality by providing bikes, helmets, and locks to children throughout Iowa. These bikes arrive in boxes and need to be assembled - which creates an opportunity for companies and organizations to sponsor, build, and present 50 - 200 bikes.

Variety bikes help children and families think about exercise and good health, and they provide an opportunity to teach the importance of safety and responsibility. These are skills that will last a lifetime!

About Variety: Variety – the Children’s Charity of Iowa is dedicated to improving the lives of children who are at risk, underprivileged, critically ill, or living with special needs. Since the inception of the Telethon in 1975, Variety has raised more than $134 million to support children in need throughout the state. Variety is making a better future for our community by connecting people who care to programs that enable children to reach their full potential.
