Alexander Black+FollowBloomington kids get surprise bikes for the holidaysForty local kids had their holiday dreams come true when a curtain dropped at the Crestmont Boys & Girls Club, revealing rows of brand-new bikes and helmets—each tagged with a child’s name. Bloomington attorney Ken Nunn, with help from retired firefighter Lee Chapman and community partners, made this joyful moment possible for the 15th year in a row. Over 500 bikes have been given away since the tradition began. The excitement in the gym was contagious, with kids riding laps and even popping wheelies. What’s your favorite way to give back during the holidays? #Cars #Bloomington #CommunityGiving00Share
