Milestone Fulfills 3rd Annual Bike Build for Kids Honoring Shelley Shannon
Our St. Charles, MO team members and family completed our 3rd annual bike build on Sat., Sept. 29, assembling 100 bikes that were then presented to students during an action-packed assembly on Monday, Oct. 2. This event holds a special place in our hearts, to honor Shelley Shannon, our dear friend and teammate who was passionate about cycling. Shelley passed away in 2021.
The event is done through our partnership with the Bikes for Kids Foundation. This enables us to serve our community by funding the training materials that includes an insert on Shelley, bicycles and helmets for hundreds of students annually, while allowing volunteers from our team to build the bikes.
We were honored to work side-by-side with Shelley’s family during the build and the presentation. The reaction by these great kids when they receive their bikes made the event a big success and a wonderful tribute to Shelley. We look forward to many more bike builds in Shelley’s honor!
