I am once again attaching a Thank You Note to an email for you and CIBA. I am just THRILLED with the Fall Grant Award from CIBA. This is just amazing! Now whole groups can go out together and no one in the group will be left behind. This is life changing for sure. I promise to get some pictures very soon. I keep missing the groups when they have gone out. All those darn meeting and Chamber Events are always at the wrong time. I am going to talk with scheduler to get a group on a ride when I can take pictures.
You are the best! If you need anything else from me please let me know. Your generosity is truly amazing!!
Thank you!

The generous grant funding from CIBA Foundation allowed us to create a series of informational videos that help make Pacers Bikeshare more accessible and inviting to the Indianapolis community. From explaining ‘What is Pacers Bikeshare?’ to share essential safety tips and highlighting our new Indy Rides Free pass program, these evergreen videos help more people discover, use, and benefit from Pacers Bikeshare as a convenient and fun way to explore Indianapolis. This support allowed us to bring these stories to life and inspire even more people to ride bikes! - Riley Hill-Kartel, Director of Advancement, Indianapolis Cultural Trail Inc.
