Allegheny General Hospital donated helmets and provided staff support to help fit helmets properly. The Allegheny Health Network’s Mobile STAR center was on site as well.

Thanks  Patrick, AGH, ACAC and also to Shane Freeman and everyone at the Unitarian Church for making a donation so that Patrick can continue purchasing parts to gets kids back on bikes!
