On December 16, 2008 the Ann Arbor Fire Department once again teamed up with Two Wheel Tango to provide 10 children with bicycles for the holiday season. This was the second year the department held the event and it started off the same with it did the previous year, with a snow storm! Most of the families were a little late due to the weather and hazardous road conditions but everyone arrived safe and sound and ready for a tour of the fire house.
The children were told that they were coming to the firehouse for a tour and dinner with the firefighters. The bike give away was a surprise and everyone enjoyed being in on the secret. So once all the families arrived, they were given a tour of the station and then treated to pizza in the dining room with the firefighters while employees from Two Wheel Tango and members of administration assembled the bikes to be on display for the children. They were hidden behind a big truck and in Extreme Home Makeover fashion, Amelia Moshier lead the crowd in a "move that truck" chant which exposed 10 shiny new bikes! The kids were so excited; they didn’t even realize the bikes had personalized license plates indicating who was to receive which bike.
The kids were allowed to ride their bikes around the apparatus floor and Dennis and Leslie from Two Wheel Tango, fitted them all with new bike helmets. A big thanks goes out to Dennis and Leslie for all that they do to help this event be a success. Although the department sells calendars to raise money for the bikes, Two Wheel Tango gives much more in products and services than the department raises. Shift 3 personnel also deserve a big thank you as they did a great job entertaining the families and educating them on fire services. Some of the firefighters even helped the younger kids learn how to ride their bikes.
The department looks forward to hosting Bikes for Tykes again in 2009. Two Wheel Tango is excited to continue their support of the program. We hope each year continues provide joy and happiness to needy families in the Ann Arbor area; it certainly provides joy and happiness to the fire department. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBBxs4yrLOA
