Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Luis Obispo County would like to thank our anonymous bike donor. For the past several years, a generous man has dropped two bikes at our door along with helmets and locks, to be distributed to deserving youth.
Big Brother Kent nominated 11-year-old Little Brother Brandon, who coincidentally received a bike on his birthday! Brandon wrote:
 Dear Bicycle Donor,
I want to tell you thank you very much for the bike. When Kent brought it over, I was so surprised and very excited. It is different than any other bike I had. I put it away every night. Also I like the helmet and bike lock. I very much enjoy riding the bike.
Thank You,
Brandon
 Big Sister Sarah nominated 15-year-old Little Sister Mayra, who had never owned a bike. Mayra wrote:

Dear Special Friend,
Thank you for my cool new bike. I like riding the bike going to the park. I like to do tricks on my bike. My new bike is good exercise.
Gratefully,
Mayra
 All of us at Big Brothers Big Sisters appreciate the joy these bikes bring.
