Squatter’s played host to the build session, organized by the Can’d Aid Foundation, to put together 80 bicycles. The bikes will be given to first- and second-grade students at Washington Elementary, a Title I school in Salt Lake City’s Marmalade neighborhood. For some, it will be the first bicycle they have ever owned.
The Can’d Aid Foundation has built 1,500 bikes since its founding in 2013. It also has shipped 1.25 million cans of water to disaster-stricken communities and donated more than 600 musical instruments.
