Charity: Bikes for Kids is a non-profit organization that raises money each year to provide needy children in our area with a new bicycle at Christmas. Bay Area Bicycles donates their time and skill to assemble and store the bicycles while other organizations, including the Corpus Christi Triathlon Club work to raise money on behalf of Bikes for Kids. Please sign-up for our event so that a needy child can enjoy the thrill of riding a new bike during this Holiday Season. Marketing and promotion for the event is being provided by Malkan Broadcasting.
