Sunflower Launches Community-Wide Fundraiser for World Bicycle Relief
Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop is excited to announce a community-wide fundraising effort to support World Bicycle Relief, aiming to raise enough funds to purchase 1,000 bicycles for individuals in need across the globe. This initiative not only promotes sustainable transportation but also empowers communities by providing increased access to education, healthcare and economic opportunities.
Building the Buffalo: A First-hand Look at a Life-Changing Bicycle
To kick off this inspiring campaign, we invite everyone to our launch event on November 2nd at 6pm at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop. We will be screening the compelling documentary, Building the Buffalo, which highlights the transformative impact of bicycles in rural communities, and the Buffalo Bike - a purpose built, durable bike that can carry large loads and is easy to maintain. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the initiative, how they can make an impact, and will be able to check out the Buffalo Bike up close and in person. You can watch a preview of the short film.
