2024 Festive Holiday Bike Build scheduled for December 7th
More than 150 volunteers have signed up to help assemble hundreds of bicycles on Saturday December 7th at the Clark County Fairgrounds. It’s the annual Scott Campbell Christmas Promise Bike Build, supported by Waste Connections.
Volunteers will start at 9am and work until all 700 bikes are assembled. The finished bikes will go to support eight community organizations providing holiday toys to families in need.
It’s part of the Scott Campbell Christmas Promise, Scott Campbell was a longtime employee of Waste Connections. He started the Bike Build 14 years ago with 100 bicycles, 20 volunteers, and a wish that every child in need who asks Santa for a bike on Christmas morning shall receive one.
It has grown so much in the 14 years that we, Waste Connections, now make it an annual event to bring everyone together to build the bikes and give back to the community. Scott passed away seven years ago, and it was his Christmas Promise to move the community forward, always thinking of the community, so we all promised, no matter what, we'd always have a Bike Build. Seven years since he's been gone, and here we are, still doing it
This year’s supporters include Ed & Dollie Lynch Fund, Beaches, NW Natural, Riverview Bank, J. Scott Campbell Foundation, Waste Connections Employees, Fred Meyer Columbia House
