Social Code hosted a remarkable bike build event at the Washington Post in Washington DC.

Rebecca Licu organized the event in downtown Washington DC. The Social Code team gathered from New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Toronto for a business conference, then they capped off the week by building thirteen bikes for local children. The children were all students from a local charter school of inner Washington DC.

But the highlight was the children.  While taking the team photo, the kids sprang into the room to surprise the team. There were many teary eyes of gratitude. It was heart warming.

Kids from Congo

A private couple in Austin, Texas sponsored a family, who left war torn Congo, to get new bikes for the children. Larry Jolly and family worked with Bikes for Goodness Sake to raise money and deliver them in time for Christmas. As you can see, the faces are delighted. Good job to Larry and his wife, those who donated through Bikes for Goodness Sake, and Bucks Bikes and their mechanics who built the bikes on short notices. It was a Merry Christmas by all.
