CHARLOTTE, NC, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Garage Door Doctor is helping present the 34th Annual Hancock’s Bikes for Kids drive with WBT News Talk 107.9 FM and Kids First of the Carolinas. From November 10 through December 4, Charlotte-area residents can donate new bicycles of any size, from starter bikes with training wheels to bikes for teenagers, to give local children a bike to unwrap this holiday season. Donated bikes are distributed to children in the Charlotte community through Kids First of the Carolinas.

“Hancock’s Bikes for Kids is one of Charlotte’s great holiday traditions, and we’re honored to be part of it again,” said Jared Grisé, President of Garage Door Doctor. “The Charlotte community has been good to us, and this is a small way we can give back. Our goal is to collect 100 bikes between our two locations. The Monroe Road showroom in particular is a convenient drop-off spot for our customers and neighbors, and we hope people will stop by.”

How to Donate
All bikes must be new so every child receives a safe, ready-to-ride gift. Helmets and locks are also appreciated.

A Charlotte Holiday Tradition
Hancock’s Bikes for Kids was founded by longtime WBT radio host John Hancock, a member of the WBT and North Carolina Association of Broadcasters Halls of Fame. The drive has put more than 20,000 new bicycles into the hands of local children. Since Hancock’s retirement in 2019, WBT and the Charlotte community have kept the tradition going.

Kids First of the Carolinas, founded by Sharon Sanders, has supported children and families in Charlotte, Union County, and surrounding communities for more than 37 years, providing holiday assistance, food, clothing, school supplies, and other essentials.

Garage Door Doctor thanks WBT, Kids First of the Carolinas, and everyone contributing bicycles, helmets, or volunteer time this year.
