BikeFlights Buck Up For Bikes Program Donates $16,000

We are pleased to announce a donation of $16,000 to Trip for Kids, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association, Little Bellas and the International Mountain Bike Association from funds raised via our BikeFlights Buck Up for Bikes program throughout 2022.

“We value the excellent work that the beneficiaries of our Buck Up For Bikes program are doing to create more opportunities and places for people to ride,” said Alcorn. “We also appreciate the ongoing support of our customers for Buck Up For Bikes.”

Originally created in 2016 to benefit NICA and the Amy D. Foundation, BikeFlights’ Buck Up for Bikes (BUFB) program has been growing ever since. From the program’s inception to date, BikeFlights has raised and given out more than $95,000.

“It is an honor to express my sincere appreciation to the BikeFlights team for their enduring partnership and commitment to Trips for Kids,” said Patricia Gallery, President of Trips for Kids (TFK). “The Buck up for Bikes program is helping us drive our national movement to enrich the minds and bodies of all kids from all communities, especially those in need, through the transformative power of the bike.”

Lucas Euser, National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) Director of Corporate Partnerships said, "NICA is infinitely grateful to all of our partners that help break down barriers to empower every kid to be part of a thriving and engaged cycling community. The Buck Up for Bikes program is an easy way to help get more kids on bikes through NICA’s safe, reliable and predictable youth development programming. Thank you, BikeFlights, for being a great NICA partner." 

"BikeFlights has been an incredible long-standing partner with Little Bellas,” said Sabra Davison, Director of Little Bellas. “They have been shipping bikes for girls in need to every corner of the country as well as utilizing their Buck Up for Bikes checkout to further support getting more girls on bikes."

Dave Wiens, Executive Director of the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) said, “We're grateful for the continued support of BikeFlights and the Buck up for Bikes program, being recipients alongside partners who introduce kids to mountain biking. BikeFlights knows that keeping kids riding requires fun trails and more trails close to home. Supporting IMBA supports trails, and more trails means more kids on bikes."

Per the Buck Up for Bikes program, BikeFlights customers have the option to contribute from one to four bucks during checkout when booking their bike shipping online. BikeFlights not only collects and tracks all donations, but also supplements collected contributions and covers the costs of administering and publicizing the program.

Progress at the future home of Stone Eater Bike Park! A “forestry mower”(left) and a “hot saw”(right) are being used to make quick work of trees that have been directed to be removed by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Share The Ride Campaign Benefits NICA

The National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) has long been a beneficiary of BikeFlights’ Buck Up For Bikes (BUFB) Program to give back and get more people on bikes, and now there’s another opportunity to help NICA do more. They’ve launched Share the Ride, a year-end fundraising campaign to support their many programs across the country. 

“A donation to NICA will support the magic and good that happens daily in NICA leagues,” said Amanda Carey, NICA President.

With core values of fun, inclusivity, equity, respect and community, NICA’s programs enable many young riders to get the opportunity to seek their first adventure on a bike, make it to a starting line, celebrate new friendships, experience joy and have fun. 

Through NICA, more than 25,000 student-athletes, 14,000 coaches and countless volunteers across America help create safe spaces for youth to encourage, have fun and build community around cycling.

“Your commitment to youth development allows NICA to continue our philanthropic mission of building strong minds, bodies, character and communities through cycling,” said Carey. “The impact you can have on a NICA life can not be underestimated.”

NICA is welcoming both one-time and recurring, monthly gifts. Those who commit to monthly, recurring gifts will be entered into weekly and grand-prize drawings to receive prizes.

Donate to NICA’s Share the Ride campaign before the end of the year, and remember that you can also donate year-round to NICA, Trips for Kids, Little Bellas and the International Mountain Bike Association through BikeFlights’ Buck Up For Bikes program by contributing a dollar whenever you book a shipment.
