ABOUT BONNERS BIKES FOR TYKES PROJECT—
Bonner’s Bikes For Tykes began in 2011 with Ed Bonner (Buchanan GA), a group of generous friends & family & the goal of helping to share the true spirit of the holiday.
Ed wanted to make Christmas morning a little brighter for children in need around Haralson County & the surrounding areas.
Every year he, & now all of his elves, work tirelessly to collect monetary donations & donated bikes & get them to kids.
In fact, even late on Christmas Eve he can usually be found delivering last minute bikes to deserving homes!
Our project works with DFCS, CASA, Toys For Tots & other local charities to make the dream of a new bike on Christmas morning a reality.
We average about 100-150 bikes per year!!
2020 was especially challenging with the pandemic & the loss of Ed’s sister, Monique, days before Christmas.
Thanks to contributors in her name we were able to donate a bike to every young child in foster care in Haralson, Polk & Carroll Counties!
As we prepare to begin the campaign for 2021 we realize that this years supply chain shortages & rising prices are probably going to limit the scope of our efforts, but we still plan to donate as many bikes � as possible.
PLEASE PLAN TO PARTICIPATE & HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN!
