Corporate Bike Build and Bike Safety Rodeo
T
he team at Praxair sponsored a corporate charity build for 16 good kids in New Hampshire. Scott Fogg, the Safety Manager, put on an impressively organized event. The focus of the charity bike build event was Praxair’s 6 Safety Principles, Team Building, and Community Engagement.
After a morning of safety training and team building exercises, the team set up outside to build the bikes for local children. Each team had the bikes, tools, and helmets for a special kid. Teams also made welcome cards personalized for each child.
James and Corey, mechanics from Goodale’s Bike shop, were at the event to do final safety checks on each bike. Goodale’s is a great
long standing bike shop in New Hampshire. They do a great job for their customers and the community. Thanks to the Goodale’s teams for helping good kids get
good bikes.
With all the bikes having a safety check, the Praxair team had a bike rodeo for bike safety training for the kids. The kids came off the bus while the Praxair team held up the posters with each child’s name on it. The kids rushed to the team to get their bikes. It was rewarding and wonderful according to Scott Fogg. That is really the magic of these events when a you get the privileged of seeing the eyes of a child when they get their first good bike! Each child was well rewarded with a bike and helmet and ice cream.
