LEXINGTON, Ky. - Nov. 15, 2016 - PRLog -- To help encourage healthy lifestyles and spread some holiday cheer to Lexington children in need, PODS Lexington (http://podslexington.com/) has teamed up with Your 1063 Bikes for the Bluegrass to benefit the Fraternal Order of Firefighters' Toy Program to collect bikes and helmets for less fortunate children in Central KY. PODS will donate two PODS containers to store all of the bikes and helmets donated during the event, Nov. 18-21 beginning at 10 a.m.

Too many kids, a bicycle is a luxury their family cannot afford and they ultimately miss out on the confidence building skills and healthy lifestyle a simple bike can provide.  During the three-day event, PODS containers will be placed at Courtesy Acura to provide storage logistics for the donated bikes and safety helmets. Lexington residents are encouraged to donate unused or gently used bikes and trikes to help Your 106.3 (http://www.your1063.com/2016/10/24/bikes-for-the-bluegrass/) and Fayette County Firefighters reach their goal of 500 bikes. The community is also encouraged to donate new helmets so every child receives the important safety equipment to go along with their new bicycle.

"Growing up, our bikes offered us the freedom to explore our neighborhoods and ride with friends," said David and Ken Kocon, brothers and co-owners of PODSof Lexington. "We realize that bikes can be cost prohibitive to some families and we are glad to be able to help out those in need."

Entering into its 4th year, the Fayette County Firefighters' Toy Program, helps provide gift donations for children throughout the community each holiday season.
