This year marks the 20th anniversary of Christmas Bikes for Kids, and with the continued support of Bryan Super Walmart, Paradowski Law is once again thrilled to give away 100 brand-new bikes to deserving children in our community. The 20th year of Christmas Bikes for Kids marks a significant milestone! It's inspiring to see how this initiative, founded by Jeff Paradowski, has grown to impact the lives of so many children.
It all began over two decades ago when Jeff Paradowski was contacted by a Bryan elementary school teacher about a few students who weren’t expecting to receive any gifts that Christmas. Wanting to make a difference, Jeff purchased bicycles from Bryan Super Walmart for those children. The joy it brought inspired him to continue the effort year after year. Soon, Larry Beavers, the manager of Bryan Super Walmart, learned about the project and offered to help. Since then, Bryan Super Walmart has partnered with Paradowski Law to provide discounted prices, assemble the bikes, store them, and assist in hosting the event.
“Bryan Super Walmart’s help with this program cannot be overstated,” Jeff says. “Each year, Larry Beavers and his staff work tirelessly and cheerfully to ensure that the giveaway event is pulled off seamlessly and without a hitch.”
The bikes are given to children chosen through an application process, with each application carefully reviewed. Over the years, the event has grown with more people eager to get involved, making it even more rewarding to share the excitement with so many children. To ensure this tradition continues well into the future, we are working on establishing Christmas Bikes for Kids as a nonprofit organization.
As we celebrate 20 years of giving, we invite families in need or those who know a child deserving of a special holiday gift to nominate them for a new bike this Christmas. To nominate a child, click here to download the application and complete the form using one of the following options:
