Every year so many kind-hearted community members roll up to Christmas Wish with brand-new bikes for the kiddos. Children who deserve a blessing for Christmas. Many children wish for a bike, but we don't always have the funding to make it happen. We depend on donations. What I've seen over the last two years has been a miracle.

FAST LANE AUTO REPAIR BIKE DRIVE HISTORY

When Tony Lane and the team at Fast Lane Auto Repair decided to do a bike drive in 2020, I wouldn't have guessed how successful it would be. Hundreds of children across the area got bicycles for Christmas, thanks to community generosity. It was incredible watching them roll into the Christmas Wish Office with a bundle of bikes. And, then show up again and again! Because of the pandemic and bike shortages, they even drove to other areas of the tri-state to find bikes. They also put most of the bikes together themselves, which was incredible.

During the 2021 season, they rolled in with even more bikes! I can't wait to see what 2022 brings because of your generosity.

2022 BIKE DRIVE FOR CHRISTMAS WISH

As we approach the Christmas season, Fast Lane Auto Repair is back once again to host a Bike Drive to benefit children in the area. Doesn't every child deserve a bike under the tree from Santa at least once in their lifetime? We say, yes indeed they do.

The 2022 Christmas Wish Bike Drive is underway now at Fast Lane Auto Repair at 2121 Triplett St. in Owensboro. You can drop off a new bike or make a monetary donation and the team will purchase bikes.

"It’s that time of year again! Fast Lane Auto Repair is once again challenging all of its customers' friends and other small business owners to join us in this great cause. We are gathering bikes or cash donations to purchase bikes for Christmas Wish. We challenge all of our other small business owners to join us to help put smiles and more kids' faces than last year! Thank you all and Merry Christmas.", Tony Lane shared on social media

Santa For St. Jude, in conjunction with Walmart, dropped off bikes earlier in the year to get bike donations started for the season. We're so grateful.

Just imagine children on Christmas morning finding a bike under the tree from Santa.
