FREE bike helmets (courtesy of Children's Hospital) while supplies last ✅ FREE bikes (new and gently used) for children in need ✅ Emergency vehicle displays, free refreshments, and music!


“We’re looking forward to the rodeo,” said BPPD Community Resource Officer Amber DiFranco. “This is a great opportunity to work with our neighbors on a wonderful community program! I’d like to also thank Kelly Gilliam of Life Builders, whose support helped make this event possible.”
