Make it Count Foundation asked local bike dealers to donate or discount bikes for our Bikes for Fitness program. In conjunction with our partner Habitat for Humanity, Make It Count distributed bikes to families in need during this holiday season. By the generosity of Brands bicycles in Wantagh, who donated 12 bikes, two deserving Long Island families were given bikes for the entire family. Jon Reese, Founder of Make It Count and Board member Anthony Gerrato delivered these special packages. A growing number of local Long Island families struggle to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads. For them, bicycles are out of the question. We believe biking can be tremendous fun, and if kids and families can get a good bike and a good start in their life biking, it’s great for us to have more cyclists in the community. This goes a long way in enriching lives in a healthy way in our community.
