Houston Black McDonald’s Give 200 Bikes to Local Children

Two hundred local children received new bicycles courtesy of the Black McDonald’s Owner/Operators Association of Greater Houston (BMOA). The children and their families took pictures with Birdie, Hamburglar, and Grimace, and got an up-close look at the Ronald McDonald Shoe Car with the chance to pose in front of it for a photo. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Houston/Galveston was on site with their Ronald McDonald Care Mobile units to provide health screenings and teeth cleanings, and Houston Police Department’s Certified Bike Patrol Team shared bike safety tips. The bicycles, purchased at a generous discount from Academy Sports & Outdoors, arrived in a McDonald’s 18-wheeler and included a free bicycle helmet. BMOA comprises 8 local business people who collectively own and operate 42 McDonald’s restaurants in Greater Houston.
