Pedals 4 Peanuts
Dr. Schimpf was inspired to found the 501(c) nonprofit Pedals 4 Peanuts after he saw the joy that the gift of a new bike brought his youngest daughter, “Peanut,” one Christmas. He realized it wasn’t just a bike to her; it represented independence and freedom. More than that, it had a profound effect on her self-confidence, an important component of inner beauty.
Pedals 4 Peanuts was created as a way to give that same gift of self-confidence to underprivileged children. Since it began, Pedals 4 Peanuts has given away nearly 1,000 new bikes and helmets to deserving families. Learn more about Pedals 4 Peanuts and how you can support its mission here.
