Thanks to generous donations in support of the St. John's United Church of Christ Bicycle Ministry, a contest to win a bike shop-quality bicycle and helmet from Bike Crazy LLC has been announced.

The church’s mission is to provide a free bicycle and helmet to children up to 13 years old. The giveaway will focus on local youth who have a need and desire for a high-quality bicycle in the Bluffton, Cory-Rawson and Pandora school districts.

The St. John's Bicycle Ministry Committee will select the best candidate or candidates, based upon how well participants meet the ministry objectives via their submitted responses to four questions on the entry form.  

Parents are welcome to help their children complete the form.
