In the spirit of the upcoming holiday season, “Rick Case Bikes for Kids” is once again inviting the Atlanta community to donate gently-used bicycles to help bring joy to local children in-need.

Now in its 44th year, the annual program — organized by the Rick Case Automotive Group — is accepting donations from now through Dec. 20, at participating dealerships.

Residents have the option of dropping off their used bikes at Rick Case Hyundai (3180 Satellite Blvd., Duluth), Rick Case Mazda (2493 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth), Rick Case Kia (3285 Commerce Ave. NW, Duluth) or Rick Case Hyundai (11446 Alpharetta Highway, Roswell).

Since it was established, Rick Case Bikes for Kids has collected and distributed approximately 122,000 bicycles to local children through organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, Women in Distress and more.

“Most of us can remember our first bike and that feeling of independence and joy that comes with it. We bring that moment to kids in our community with Rick Case Bikes for Kids,” said Rita Case, president and chief executive officer of the Rick Case Automotive Group. 

“What also makes it special is that for many of these kids, this is their first bike. I am incredibly grateful for the community’s generosity in donating bikes they no longer need, helping us make these holidays brighter for so many kids.”

All four dealerships are open seven days a week, with operation hours posted on the Rick Case Automotive Group website.
