Indiana native and former IU basketball player Dan Dakich and his wife have made it their mission to give away as many bikes as possible to Hoosier kids.
INDIANAPOLIS — “Every kid should have a bike" — that’s the inspiration behind an initiative right here in Indianapolis to make sure that need is met.
Earlier this month former Indiana University basketball player and Head Coach Dan Dakich and his wife Leigh gave away 31 bikes in Indianapolis.Those 31 bikes are just some of the hundreds they’ve gifted in the last few years. “You could tell he didn't have a bike, but he wanted to have a bike — and that started a conversation between the two of us about our lives with bikes and the freedom that a bike gives a kid. You know, a kid can go in the front of the neighborhood, a kid can go to the ballpark, a kid can go wherever,” Dakich said.Dakich said this program wouldn’t be a success without their partnership with Indiana Sports Corp and donations from the community.
