OTA Students Keep a Tradition Alive

December 1, 2020

SOTA Donation to Bikes and TrykesThe รศรรสำฦต-Grand Island chapter of the Students Occupational Therapy Association (SOTA) recently donated a pair of therapeutic tricycles to Bikes and Trykes of Central Nebraska.

SOTA has raised money for similar donations for several years now. However, fundraising this year was a bit more difficult because of the pandemic. Fortunately, students sold enough T-shirts and Eileenโ€™s cookie dough that in addition to the tricycles, they had enough money remaining to make donations to other charities and get a head start on next yearโ€™s drive.

According to the Bikes and Trykes of Central Nebraska website, its mission โ€œis to provide AmTrykes for area children and adults with disabilities who otherwise would not be able to ride a bike or tryke.โ€

The Grand Island Independent and Local 4/KSNB-TV covered the donation.
