Rick Case Bikes for Kids Program Celebrates 38th Anniversary
The Rick Case Bikes for Kids program, founded by Rick and Rita Case in 1982, has provided more than 100,000 bikes to children in need during the holiday season. Celebrating its 38th anniversary this year, all Rick Case dealerships are continuing the tradition through December 20th! This year's collection goal is set at 5,000 bikes, which will be distributed to Boys & Girls Clubs as well as other local charities, churches, and schools.
For any child who has experienced poverty, the holidays can be a discouraging time. Now in its 38th year, the Rick Case Bikes for Kids program continues to deliver joy by providing them with a new bicycle. It's an excellent way to give back to your community and brighten up the holidays for a child in need. Simply drop off a new or lightly used bike in good condition at any of the following South Florida Rick Case dealerships:
"This program was designed to put smiles on thousands of deserving children's faces during a very special time of year," said Rick Case, who reports that to date, more than 100,000 bikes have been donated to Rick Case dealerships in Atlanta, South Florida, and Cleveland since the program's founding. "The communities really come together to make sure underprivileged children have the best holiday season possible."
Rick Case Automotive Group Hosts Soles4Souls Event
Many children start the new school year with a worn-out pair of shoes that won't make it through the first few months. Often times, their families do not have sufficient funds to replace them. Aiming to break this cycle of poverty, Soles4Souls seeks to distribute shoes to those in need all around the world. Today, they visited South Florida.
Skechers, Shoe Carnival, and Soles4Souls partnered with the Boys and Girls Club to donate almost 5,000 pairs of BOBS from Skechers to the children of Broward County. The children received a brand new pair of shoes that they could decorate and customize themselves. The event was held at the Rick and Rita Case Club in Davie.
"With 12 clubs and over 13,000 kids here in the county that we're serving, this was a great location [...] to be highlighted for the shoe carnival," said Rita Case.
As proud, longtime sponsors of the Boys and Girls Club, Rick and Rita Case were both in attendance to celebrate with the children.
The heart of the event was building up and protecting the children of the Broward County community. These clubs and events provide a safe environment for children to learn and grow and they alleviate the worries of their families. "These clubs are so important to these kids," Rick Case said. "They keep them off the street, away from crime, away from drugs."
Every year, Revemar Motocenter of Brazil visits an American dealership to see what sets them apart from thousands of others. For the last three years, Rick Case Automotive Group has been selected for its world-renown reputation of customer satisfaction and brand recognition.
This year, the group included private dealership managers from Renault, Volkswagen, Nissan, Ford, and Honda. They visited Rick Case Honda and Volkswagen. Lawrence Fosatti, general manager of the Volkswagen store, has a deep connection with the Brazillian community of South Florida, so this was an especially memorable meeting for him and the Rick Case VW team.
Rick Case Automotive Group looks forward to meeting with Revemar Motocenter for years to come.
