Through generous support of the Ford Motor Company, the Variety Sunshine
Coach Program was born nearly 40 years ago and currently
has over 8,250 coaches on the road worldwide as a
means to literally bring the “shut-in
child” out into the sunshine. This wonderful program has transported
at least 55 million special-needs children to treatment, therapy, education,
and the larger world.
Variety of Colorado's
Bikes for Kids program is available for your school.
We will present bikes and helmets to children designated
by their school as positive role model students.
2007 was our inaugural year for our Variety of Colorado Bikes for Kids program. Our goal is to positively impact the children and,
in coming years, increase the number of bikes we can present.
For over 75 years, Variety – The Children’s Charity has
been serving children with special needs. These children want to
be active members in their communities and get a
chance to just be a kid. In order to achieve this,
they need what most of us take for granted: access.
For children with disabilities, this means having the freedom to go where
they want to, either on their own, or if they need assistance, reducing
the impact they make on those helping them. With the advent of many new
mobility technologies, this access is becoming available to more and more
children. Variety
of Colorado has been focused on providing children
in our community with prosthetic limbs, walkers, wheelchairs, and specially
designed adaptive bikes. For
more information on our Miracles in Motion program
please contact us.
