Sports Authority and the USS Foundation Surprise 100 Denver Children with Bikes and Helmets

Local nonprofit Helmet Heads attended event to
educate children on helmet safety

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sports
Authority
, one of the largest full-line sporting goods retailers in
the United States and Puerto Rico, recently partnered with the USS
Foundation and its Adopt-a-Bike program to provide 100 outstanding
students at the Richard T. Castro Elementary School in Denver with bikes
and helmets on December 11.


“Sports Authority is a proud supporter of this community and believes in
bettering the lives of its youth,” said Mike Foss, Chief Executive
Officer of Sports Authority. “Our partnership with the USS Foundation
and its Adopt-a-Bike program has given us a wonderful opportunity to
recognize the outstanding efforts of these students.”

Helmet Heads, a Denver-based volunteer organization which has taught
more than 1,500 students over the past five years about helmet safety,
was on site to educate students and demonstrated what can happen if
helmets aren’t worn. The 100 outstanding students were personally fitted
for their helmet during the event and were able to ride their new bikes
immediately.

“Sports Authority’s generous donation of bikes and helmets to the USS
Foundation will help these students feel a sense of accomplishment for
their good behavior,” said Adel Sayegh, founder of the USS Foundation.
“The children selected by the school have outstanding records of
attendance, academic effort and good behavior, and we hope this
recognition will help them continue on a positive path forward.”

This is the second year Sports Authority and the USS Foundation have
teamed up for the Adopt-a-Bike program. Last year, their partnership
provided 100
Miami students with bikes
.
