Heroes on bikes
To encourage young people to surpass themselves and do good around them, Sun Youth is rewarding one hundred (100) young people aged 6 to 17 from the Greater Montreal area. On May 24, they’ll receive bikes, helmets, locks and reflectors.

The more details we have about what makes the child stand out, the better his or her chances of receiving a bike. Don’t hesitate to take up all the space on the form for this description.
A simple bike can make a huge difference
