Bicycle Giveaway
On June 1st, Aspen Specialty surprised 15 children in our After-School Program with brand new bicycles and helmets at the Doral Arrowwood in Rye Brook. Aspen Specialty, a leading specialty Insurance and Reinsurance Company, collaborated with True North Team Building, LLC to build these bicycles. This tremendous event became an experience to remember for the children of Carver. For many of these children, this was their first bicycle. One girl cried when she saw the bike, as she exclaimed “I can finally learn how to ride a bike!” The chance to visit Doral Arrowwood was also the first time 8-year old Jessinia visited a hotel, as she went on to ask the hotel staff about the facility, including “how many beds did they have?” Janett Grose, Manager of Children’s Programs said “this is the essence of Carver, providing children with luxuries that many consider basic necessities.”
Thank you Aspen Specialty and True North Team Building, LLC for your generosity and for thinking about the children we serve.
