All 412 bikes have been distributed, and we’re already getting pictures of smiling faces. Those smiles are what this is all about.

Special thanks to the countless Social Service organizations we partner with who have identified these incredible kids. Thank you for what you do EVERY day.

See you next year, December 12th, 2026!

412 bikes. 412 smiles. Endless gratitude.

Yesterday was nothing short of incredible. With the overwhelming support of our community including donors, sponsors, volunteers, and friends, we came together to purchase and build 412 brand new bikes for children in need this holiday season.

It was no small feat. It took months of planning, generous hearts, busy hands, and a whole lot of teamwork but we did it. And we are truly overwhelmed by the kindness and commitment that showed up in such a big way.

Wishing Wheels is a reminder that this work is never done alone. Every dollar donated, every bolt tightened, and every hour volunteered made a difference. Because of you, hundreds of children will experience the joy, freedom, and confidence that comes with a brand new bike this holiday season.

A huge thank you to the incredible team at Zane’s Cycles, who were on site all day ensuring every single bike received a thorough safety inspection before heading out. Your expertise and support mean the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in this mission and helping us reach our goal. This community is truly something special.
