For Immediate  Release

December 15, 2011

Clearwater, Florida – Jim Dodson Law and Chainwheel Drive have joined together to donate bikes to deserving children for Christmas.  Five children will have the joy of receiving a shiny new bike and helmet on December 21, 2011 at Chainwheel Drive, 1770 Drew Street, Clearwater. 

For the past two years the law firm has given 5 bikes to deserving children who are 12 years of age or younger for Christmas.  Several local agencies have helped to locate children who needed or would enjoy a bike but have not had the opportunity to receive one. This year Chainwheel Drive, a local bicycle store, has partnered with Jim Dodson Law to provide the bikes and helmets. 

The 5 children range in age from 5 year old twins to an 11 year old.  The children, along with their parents, will receive their new bikes and helmets in a presentation at Chainwheel Drive on Wednesday, December 21, at 5:30pm.  They will also receive safe riding literature and will be given general instruction on care of their new bikes.

Jim Dodson says, “This is always a pretty meaningful experience for all involved, particularly the parents and the children!” Tom Jessup, owner of Chainwheel Drive, added, “We are excited to partner with Jim this year to provide new quality bikes to children at Christmas   It’s a wonderful moment to see a kid’s eyes light up when they see their first new bike.”

In our law firm’s bike giveaway “Bikes for Kids for Christmas” we were lucky enough to give 5 bicycles to some local area kids who were well deserving.  We were featured in a news article published by the St. Petersburg Times this past week and are proud to be part of this special giveaway and provide new bicycles  along with our co-sponsors, Bicycle Outfitters in Seminole, to these five children.

The article titled “Bicycle Giveaway at Seminole Shop Makes Five Youngsters Smile” features the story behind the five children and how their selection  came about. Read the article and let us know what you think about it! Bicycle safety was also a top concern and all of the children were provided helmets from the bike shop as well as a free bicycle safety precaution checklist from our firm .

We are proud to help serve and provide for children in our community.
