Sponsored by the Action Sports Medicine Foundation
The Action Sports Medicine Foundation (ASMF) of Jacksonville is sponsoring the first Bikes and Boards for Kids donation drive with the help of many local skate parks, and skate and bike shops.  ASMF is asking that people donate bikes and skateboards that they themselves or their children no longer need or use.  The drive will last until December 17 to allow time for the bikes to be distributed before Christmas.  All of the bikes and skateboards collected will be donated to the Children’s Home Society, which has about 800 kids within their system with ages ranging from infant to 17 years.  Some of the children are in foster care, some are waiting to be adopted and some have been temporarily removed from their homes.   ASMF ask that the bikes and skateboards be in good condition, as they will be given to the children as Christmas gifts.  Action Sports Medicine Foundation was established in 2003 to provide medical care and promote safety for action sports so they are also asking for safety gear for the children as well.  Of course, new boards, bikes and gear are also welcome.  Donations may be dropped off at the any of the following locations:
