Celebrating Community Support with Les Schwab Tire Donation & Summer Funding

We’re excited to have been selected as a participant in Les Schwab’s new Tires for Purpose program and to have received a new set of tires for our 15-passenger Ford! This van is used for our mountain bike program, no school day camps, summer camps, and our winter programs. With new all-weather tires, we are ready to drive youth to local parks and natural areas this summer and beyond! Community support keeps us running, and this tire donation will help keep our team on the road, kids outside, and off screens. This donation helps us reduce operating costs, directly allows us to transport youth outside, and is crucial for our summer programming.

The Les Schwab Tires for Purpose program was developed to partner with organizations like us, helping people in our communities. We worked with Ed Ferrell, the manager at the Redmond, Oregon location and he was so helpful every step of the way.

New, donated tires help keep us on the road to do more
good. Nonprofits in Central Oregon who are interested in learning more about the program can visit: https://www.lesschwab.com/tiresforpurpose

Additionally, Les Schwab provided community funding support, directly supporting our summer programs for Latine youth. We are so grateful for this generous contribution. Thank you for supporting the businesses that support our programs.
