One WBR Buffalo Bicycle will change a life. . .

. . . together over the last 9 years we've invested in the Power of Bicycles ($57,000!) and provided 350 Buffalo Bicycles for WBR to put into the field. My new campaign to place 75 new Buffalo Bicycles will span through year-end 2023 and go through 2024.  

This will be a 3-Phase Campaign.  Phase 1 starts now, with a year-end push starting with Giving Tuesday.  Please help me raise $3,300 so that we can donate 20 bicycles yet in '23!

As with every campaign, I donated first (one bicycle) and will match the highest individual donation. Just $165 helps put a brand new bike in the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life.  

Having run 5 campaigns and being involved with WBR for almost a decade, I know the profound impact a WBR Buffalo Bicycle has on a person, a family, a community; it is no exaggeration to say that by delivering a Buffalo Bicycle you provide life-changing mobility, in variety of ways:

EDUCATION  Bicycles help children get to school and stay in school. On two wheels, students in low-income regions can lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

HEALTHCARE Bicycles enable health workers to visit more patients' homes, more often. Increased quality of care leads to improved health for entire communities.

GENDER EQUALITY Distance, safety concerns and household chores often prevent girls from receiving educations. Bicycles help girls stay in school and pursue their dreams.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Buffalo Bicycles provide greater carrying capacity, enabling farmers and entrepreneurs to transport more goods and save valuable time


Thank you for your support!
