As we wrap up the year, our Houston team had an incredible time volunteering with CYCLE Houston- CHANGING YOUNG CHILDRENS LIVES THROUGH EDUCATION, building over 75 bicycles for their reading program! Johann (JT) Lane, relationship manager, stated, "It’s amazing to see how one bicycle can change a child’s life by promoting literacy and active living. I'm proud to be part of the larger effort that delivered more than 6,500 bicycles to 80 Houston area schools." This event takes our total volunteer hours to over 3,000 in Houston for 2024 and we're very proud to celebrate this achievement. #WeGoAbove #VolunteeringisFun #CYCLEHouston #BOTHouston
