Academy Sports + Outdoors donated bikes and helmets to 30 deserving students as part of Academy’s annual bike donation program at Middle Valley Elementary on Friday,
"The program occurs throughout December across our 16-state footprint and will benefit over 4,000 boys and girls at over 140 separate donation events, similar to this one," officials said. "The purpose of Academy’s annual bike donation is to provide local schools with an opportunity to reward children during the holidays with bikes and helmets for perfect attendance, academic performance, good behavior, and/or need.
"Academy will donate over $250,000 in youth bikes and helmets this year. The bike donation fits with Academy’s active-minded philosophy by rewarding kids with gifts that allow them to get outside and be active."
