Long Beach firefighters, both active and retired, are donating bicycles to local high-school students this holiday season, according to Rex Pritchard, president of the Long Beach Firefighters Association.
The Long Beach Firefighters Association has spent months raising money to donate 22 bikes to local students. Working in conjunction with the Long Beach Unified School District, they have identified 11 boys and 11 girls who they feel are deserving of a new bike for the Christmas season, with helmets and locks included.
The bikes were presented to the Long Beach students on Dec 3 at Bethune Transitional Center.
The Honorary Association consists of men and women who have joined together to promote the betterment of the fire service and the local community. Members include business people, political-office holders, retired firefighters and individuals who possess a love for the fire service.
For more information, contact the Long Beach Firefighters Association office at (562) 989-3667.
