Wish for Wheels | Beesley Bike Build honors Arvada officer

Wish for Wheels is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that gives brand new bicycles and helmets to kids in low income communities. Founded in 2004, their first giveaway made it clear that the bikes bring health and happiness into students’ lives and for that reason this organization is committed to making a difference. The unique model bundles corporate philanthropy, team building, and employee engagements through bike builds, to deliver brand new bikes to kids in the community. They are successful thanks to the generosity of corporate partners and volunteers in the community.

In 2021 Officer Gordon Beesley was ambushed in Arvada for being in law enforcement, wearing the badge, serving and protecting our community. During the service, Pastor Jim Burgen said: “Go home and love your family better. Love your wife. Dance in the living room. Listen to your kids with understanding this time. Bring fresh flowers home. Play music. Drink wine. Laugh more. BUY A KID A BIKE. Find the balance between order and mercy” — it was in that moment that Beesley’s Bike Build was born. Moving forward this annual event will be in honor of Officer Gordon Beelsey.

Townsend will adopt a low income, Title I school every year, leaving behind a “Beesley Station” street sign for the students to remember who is there to encourage and support them in building a daily healthy lifestyle.
