Mansfield academy raising funds for bikes
The Automotive Technology Department at Ben Barber Career Tech Academy is kicking off its school fundraiser for the Bikes for Angels Fund for Christmas 2009.
Auto tech students raised more than $21,000 to buy 425 bicycles for Angel Tree students at the intermediate and elementary schools in 2008 and gave bikes to the YMCA of Arlington, Cleburne Family Crisis Center, Operation Blessing and Frazier Elementary School in Burleson.
This year’s goal is to buy at least 600 bicycles this year for needy children for Christmas.
The department is seeking donations of cash and items that can be redeemed for cash, such as cars that can be sold used or as scrap, and scrap metals.
To make a donation by check, make it out to MISD Auto Tech and put Bikes for Angels in the memo of the check.
For information, e-mail Mr. Curlee at Ben Barber Career Tech Academy at curlri@mansfieldisd.org or call 817-299-1939
All money raised go to bicycles. No administration costs come out of the fund.
