10th Annual Build-a-Bike
The 10th Annual Build-A-Bike was a truly special milestone as we celebrated 10 incredible years of bringing bikes, smiles, and unforgettable memories to children in our community.
Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, organizations, and individuals, more than 100 bikes, helmets, accessories, and one incredible celebration were provided to deserving kids this year. Together, we continue to give children the freedom, confidence, and pure joy that comes with riding a bike.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the 10th Annual Build-A-Bike one of the most memorable events yet.

What is BUILD-a-Bike?
What an honor! Build-a-Bike received a very special award at the Excalibur & Excelsior 2023 Award Celebration! We were recognized as the 2023 Boone County Community Champion! So many people and organizations go into making Build-a-Bike a success and this award is for all of them.
Build-a-Bike Belvidere was honored with the "Distinguished Organization" Award by the Belvidere Chamber of Commerce in 2022
Local businesses and kind individuals come together and join us in giving away over 100 bikes to deserving children in our community!
With every $125 sponsorship a child receives a bike, a helmet, a lock, a goody bag, and a whole lot of memories!
Sponsors have a special sponsor tent to relax in and to enjoy snacks and beverages provided by the BOONE COUNTY SHOPPER! Sponsors can choose to build the bike for the child that will be receiving it, or we can build it for you. Also, if you cannot attend the event, we can present the bike for you in your name.
We give the kids goody bags donated by Doug Proudfoot American family insurance! We love to fill up the bags with donations from your business!
