Atlanta-based law firm donates $10,000 to the Big Tigger Foundation to fund bicycles for 200 children in the BeltLine community
WHO: 1-800-TruckWreck, powered by Witherite Law Group, is partnering with the Big Tigger Foundation to provide bicycles to Atlanta-area children this summer.
WHAT: During Big Tigger’s BeltLine BikeFest – a family-friendly festival including a bike ride, food trucks, DJs and live music, vendor booths, free health checks and more – 200 children in the BeltLine community will each receive one brand-new bicycle to enable and encourage them to remain active this summer. The children will be pre-selected by Atlanta Public Schools and neighborhood groups.
WHEN: Saturday, June 1, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
WHERE: Westside Park, 1600 Johnson Rd. NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
WHY: Despite the benefits of outside play – exercise, reduced stress, robust immune function and social development, to name a few – Save the Children reports that only 27% of children play outside compared to 71% of the baby boomer generation. The lack of outside play, or even interest in doing so, can be attributed to many factors, including safety concerns and technology, primarily. 1-800-TruckWreck and the Big Tigger Foundation are partnering to educate and encourage families and children to “get off the couch” and become more physically active this summer and beyond by providing new bicycles to Atlanta-area children.
“Biking is a family-friendly, versatile activity that can be done anywhere from neighborhood streets and trails to yards and parks. It’s a fun way to get active and spend time with each other,” said Amy Witherite, owner of 1-800-TruckWreck. “The overall health of our children includes their physical well-being. We’re thrilled to partner with Big Tigger to provide bikes to Atlanta youth so they can enjoy this summer – and many more – outside.
