Last night the BBP celebrated their 4 year anniversary with a great Polyester Ride and and party. They also celebrated a successful fundraising drive to purchase the building that they had been renting. In 4 short months, $115,000 was raised through large and small donations including $20,000 from New Belgium Brewing (my donation was no where near that). Now they will be a permanent fixture in Boise. Since the inception of the BBP, they have change the bike scene and created a healthy bike culture.

In the last 4 years:
  • 3200+ bikes fixed and put back on the streets.
    1100+ bikes donated to children from low income families
    2800 volunteers getting their hands dirty and fixing bikes
    1000s of people educated in bike safety and repair
    3 years of Boise's Best Non-Profit

I forgot to take some pictures but I will post some others as I find them. I was also one of the 8 volunteers to receive recognition.

The BBP continues with success. They are holding monthly Kids Bashes to give kids bikes. Tour de Fat raised about $9,000 for the BBP. Recently they won a grant from our local electric utility. In addition to the grant, Idaho Power produced this awesome commercial that will run locally.
