Quality for deserving kids
At Variety, we believe every child deserves the joy and confidence that comes with owning a bike. Through our partnership with Anaconda, we provide high-quality bikes at a generous discount, ensuring your donation goes further. These durable bikes are built to last, allowing children to enjoy them for years, and even pass them on to siblings or friends.
Each bike is selected and assembled with the utmost care, reflecting our commitment to the well-being and happiness of the children we support.
A bike is more than just a mode of transport, it's a gateway to a healthier, happier childhood.
Physical Health
Regular cycling helps children achieve the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity, fostering lifelong healthy habits. Unfortunately, 55% of kids don't use active means to get to school, and 80% don't meet daily exercise recommendations. This is even more prevalent among children experiencing disadvantage who may lack access to extracurricular activities. Owning a bike encourages exercise and builds healthy habits that can last a lifetime.
Mental Health and Learning
Cycling isn't just good for the body; it's beneficial for the mind. Increased physical activity has been linked to improved concentration and focus in the classroom, enhancing learning outcomes.?
Emotional Health
Social inclusion plays a crucial role in a child's emotional well-being. Children without bikes can feel left out from group activities with friends and classmates. Providing a bike fosters a sense of belonging, independence, and joy, allowing children to share special moments with peers and family.?

Thank you so much
Your donation supports the cost of a bike package, including safety gear, delivery, and program support. Each year, Variety grants over 300 bikes, helmets, and locks to children who need them most.
If the Bikes for Kids program raises more than is needed to meet current demand, excess funds will be directed to other individual grants that support children living with disability, illness, or disadvantage. This may include life-changing equipment such as communication devices for non-verbal children or wheelchairs for kids with mobility challenges.
