WHEELS FOR WINNERS SHOP TO CLOSE
Madison, WI (January 3, 2008) Wheels for Winners, a non-profit organization
that repairs bicycles for children that complete community service projects, is
forced to close its doors due to structural damage.
Recent water damage due to a leaking roof has caused a temporary shut down
of the Wheels for Winners shop. The place is in terrible condition. The water
damage has left an unbearable odor, said Kim Slava, President of the Board of
Directors.
Weve been looking for a new space for some time now, and this incident has
pushed that need to urgent. As a non-profit completely volunteer run
organization, we dont have the necessary funds to be able to up and move,
said Slava. We also cant easily move from location from year to year. We need
to lock in a multi-year lease or find someone generous to donate the space for
a long term location.
The organization is in danger of an indefinite closing if space can not be
found soon. Under the current conditions, the shop is unable to remain open and
until a suitable location can be found will have to close. Wheels has been
serving Dane County since 1992. We dont want to see this lead to a
permanent closing, but unless an affordable, long term location can be found,
we may not have a choice, said Slava. Wheels for Winners is a grant funded
organization.
Anyone interested in helping Wheels for Winners find a suitable location or
that has space to donate should contact the organization at the information
below. They will also be seeking donations of time and money to off-set the
costs of moving.
