Once again Wheels for Winners is throwing a 24 hour party!
Wheels for Winners 24 HR Wrench-a-Thon
Saturday, July 28th, noon - Sunday, July 29th, noon
2310 Pennsylvania Avenue, Madison, WI
Free food and beverage. Intermittent live music (schedule to come).
Last year the first annual Wheels for Winners 24 Hour Wrench-a-Thon was an
outstanding success, with dozens of volunteers participating (many of which
were retained as volunteers throughout the year), media coverage by two
television stations and a radio station, and dozens of bicycles repaired. The
event was fun and energized all who participated.
The goals of the Wrench-a-Thon are:
1. Refurbish as many bikes as possible in 24 hours
2. Recruit new Wheels for Winners volunteers
3. Media exposure for Wheels for Winners program and event sponsors
4. Fun event for existing volunteers
If you work at a bike shop and would like to have your shop sponsor a shift
at the Wrench-a-Thon by providing a professional mechanic, please call (608)
249-2418 and leave a message.
Wheels for Winners Earn-a-Bike nonprofit 501(c)(3) program uses an all
volunteer staff to refurbish used bicycles and present them to children who do
15 hours of community service (or read books/write book reports) through one of
our community organization partners. Each year we work to give away over 200
bicycles to youth in Dane County. In recent years we have also begun to train
and mentor youth in bike mechanic skills.
So mark your calendars for July 28-29 and stop by for lots of fun helping
kids! Can't attend? We'll gladly accept cash and bicycle donations.
