Why Are We Donating Bikes to Kids in the New York City Area & Who Is Eligible?
Most of us have wonderful memories of our favorite bicycle and riding it everywhere during the summer. More and more as we deal with legal issues involving children it has come to our attention that not all families have the luxury of buying their child a bike. This is especially so in today’s economy. It’s also becoming apparent that children are not getting enough exercise. This lack of exercise has led to increased rates of obesity and generally lower levels of fitness among our children. So recently, we decided with our staff to donate some bikes for a few deserving children, recommended to us by our clients. We will select a winner each month and take them to a local bicycle shop where they can choose from a selection of bikes that are the best fit for them.
In order to help children stay fit and healthy, Decker, Decker, Dito & Internicola, LLP, is encouraging parents, teachers, relatives and friends to nominate a deserving child for a new bike. “All of the children in our community deserve the opportunity to own a bike,” said Frank J. Dito, Jr., a partner in the Dongan Hills law firm. “We hope that our summer giveaway will give more kids a chance to spend the summer having fun and being active on their bikes.”
