Big Bike Build 2023

The Big Bike Build 2023 for Children with Disabilities. The IMAGE Center / V M E. Graphic of blue bicycle with orange gears in wheels.

Saturday, September 23, 2023, at Stevenson University

You’re invited to be part of VME’s largest-ever endeavor!

Volunteers for Medical Engineering (VME) has hosted many Bike Clinics in our 40-year history, but The Big Bike Build is our most ambitious event to date!

The Big Bike Build will provide 25 customized bicycles for local kids with disabilities – in a single day!

In just one day, volunteer teams of engineers, engineering students, occupational therapists, and physical therapists will complete 25 adaptive bicycles – each one uniquely customized for a local child with a disability. And to make this a true celebration for our families and friends, The Big Bike Build will include live music, great food, family-friendly activities, and more!

But in order to accomplish this feat, we need your help! VME is presently recruiting over 100 volunteers to serve on the build teams and others to provide additional support throughout the day. We’re also seeking Corporate and Individual Sponsors to help make The Big Bike Build a reality. Sponsorship is a great way to support the cause, align your brand with socially responsible efforts, and create a lasting impression that extends beyond the event!
