Help Us Link A Kid Up With A Custom BMX!

September 21, 2012

Thanks to all of our BMX connections and friends and new friends from across the land we have built a program giving fully re-furbished, customized, BMX bicycles to kids. To start off our program we are teaming locally with the Treehouse program for kids, learn all about them at www.treehouseyouth.org. They are full of kids who could use a new activity, and skill, and pride builder too. So please help us out and DONATE now!!! This is completely tax-deductible, you can use your receipt in your taxes, the Link Foundation Inc. is completely NON PROFIT. We plan to keep this program going and growing, so DONATE today. And another custom bike and kid to receive it is underway… Thanks everyone!

….sometimes you just need a little help from your friends, and other times you make new friends during a very difficult time. This is what happened to our family when our son, Brett Banasiewicz, suffered a traumatic brain injury on his BMX bike on August 23, 2011. Dustin Grice is one of Brett’s BMX buddies that reached out to us about the Link Foundation. Jeff Troldahl, founder of the Link Foundation, and Dustin Grice designed a “Maddog” bracelet with Brett’s signature colors pink and green. The Link Foundation sold many bracelets via the internet and also allowed us to sell the bracelets at Brett’s BMX Skate Park. The proceeds went to Brett’s mounting medical bills. Brett was able to obtain the best care in the United States that also included hyperbarics. Brett had to relocate to Texas because the state of Indiana is not licensed to administer hyperbarics for TBI’s..
