Thank You, Ryan Elementary

Today we’d like to thank the awesome kids, teachers, parents, and administrators at Ryan Elementary School in Lafayette. For the second year in a row, they helped to raise funds to support Imagine!’s Out & About program, specifically so Out & About can purchase a hand controlled adaptive bike. The bike will allow more children with disabilities served by Imagine! to experience the joy, freedom, and independence that comes from riding a bike.

The total raised was $1,318!

Awareness was raised as well. One teacher did a whole lesson with her students to teach them about disabilities, inclusion, and acceptance.

Thanks Rhinos!
