MY BIKE PROGRAM

Variety kicked off its "My Bike" Program for kids in Jefferson and Clearfield County!

​

The Arc of Jefferson and Clearfield Counties is excited to announce a new program that has just been approve to expand their services to Clearfield and Jefferson Counties. We want to help spread the word of Variety’s My Bike Program. So that adaptive bikes are available to those within our communities. Variety’s “My Bike” Program currently provides eligible children with disabilities with a Rifton adaptive bicycle (with Rifton accessories) that is individually customized, so they may have the freedom of a bike and the joy of riding alongside friends and family.

​

2 household members (below $64,080);
