WISH FOR WHEELS

Wish for Wheels is a Denver-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2004 that gives brand-new 20" bicycles and helmets to 2nd-grade students in Title I (low-income) elementary schools. The organization delivers gifts through a managed "Build & Give" model that pairs corporate teams, foundations, and community partners with schools to fund, assemble, and present bikes directly to children. Through its team-building events and district-scale partnerships, Wish for Wheels combines employee engagement with charitable giving to create measurable local impact: the organization publishes school- and district-level service targets and runs frequent bike build and giveaway events with corporate and community partners across Colorado and the wider U.S. Recent activity includes multiple Denver-area build-and-give events and district/school-scale donations that served hundreds of students in single events (e.g., 200+ bike deliveries with corporate partners).
