Bicycle Giveaway to Promote Clean Air

Employees of Chamber member companies can participate in the Allen County Air Quality Task Force/Clean Air Force Bicycle Giveaway. The Chamber of Commerce actively participates as a member of the Allen County Air Quality Task Force through its Energy and Environmental Affairs Committee.

The Clean Air Force is a coalition of private and public resources to help maintain cleaner air. Their mission is to provide educational opportunities and encourage voluntary action that can be taken by all residents to improve air quality. The Task Force is encouraging all Allen County families to register and become "Clean Air Force" members and agree to take steps to help reduce harmful air emissions in Allen County.

Registrants are automatically entered to win a bicycle being donated by Summit City Bicycles and Fitness. There will be two winners selected in late September. The two winners will each be given gift certificate valued at $500 to be used on any bicycle and/or accessory at Summit City Bicycles and Fitness. The intent is to encourage residents of Allen County to consider clean air-friendly activities such as riding a bicycle for short trips and for recreation.
