SUMMARY:
In accordance with the Section 3.28-3.33 of the Policies of the City Council, prior to any distribution of grant or sponsorship funds from the City Council Discretionary Funds, approval by City Council is required.
OnBikes Pensacola was started in 2016 by Pensacola native, Walker Wilson. The initial goal was to provide 100 bikes and helmets to children in Pensacola’s local foster care system and guardian ad litem program. Through the generosity of the local community, OnBikes has given over 3,000 bikes, bike locks, helmets and countless smiles to children in Pensacola. Through donations and sponsorships, they have been able to provide bikes to children in the Families First Foster Care Program, the Boys and Girls Club, Escambia County Schools, the Ronald McDonald House and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida. Almost all of these children were receiving bikes for the very first time. Funding will be used towards the purchase of bicycles.
