USED BICYCLE COLLECTION at MADISON HIGH SCHOOL

Project Aware is having a used bike collection in conjunction with Pedals for Progress. Anyone with an adult or child’s bicycle in repairable condition is urged to donate his or her bike to this worthy cause. We cannot accept “bikes for parts” or disassembled bikes.


Bikes can be dropped off from 1 PM to 4 PM on Sunday June 5, 2011 rain or shine @ Madison High School 

It costs $40 for Pedals for Progress to collect, process, ship, rebuild and distribute each bicycle. A donation toward shipping costs is necessary (suggested minimum $10 per bike). All cash and material donations are fully tax deductible and a receipt will be available at the collection site. We also accept working portable sewing machines.

PLEASE CLEAN OUT YOUR GARAGE OR BASEMENT OF OLD BICYCLES AND HELP OUT PEOPLE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES EXPAND THEIR RANGE OF MOBILITY.
