But together we are persevering, just like those who came before us. That\u2019s why we are proud to partner with the Boys &amp; Girls Club to provide 200 deserving children with a brand new bicycle just in time for the holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Pechanga\u2019s reduced operations looked much different this past year because of COVID-19 precautions, it doesn\u2019t take away the importance of maintaining the important traditions of helping the community and funding essential governmental services.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6050\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6050\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pechanga.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bikes-for-kids.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6050 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pechanga.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bikes-for-kids-300x166.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pechanga.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bikes-for-kids-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.pechanga.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bikes-for-kids-768x424.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.pechanga.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/bikes-for-kids.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6050\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bikes and helmets lined up to give to deserving kids as part of the Bikes for Kids event put on by the Los Angeles Chargers and Pechanga<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bikes for Kids happened shortly after\u00a0Pechanga donated toys, gifts and funding for children and families in need through four venerable Southern California charities \u2013 ABC7\u2019s Spark of Love, the Marines\u2019 Toys for Tots, the Debbie Chisholm Memorial Foundation, and the SEBA Shop with a Cop experience.
