NBA FIT Week: Mavs and partners gift underserved youth with new bikes

One by one, the tiny hands of children gripped the handlebars of their new bikes as they squealed with delight and set off in the setting sun.

Tuesday was a momentous occasion for the Dallas Mavericks family for one main reason – the majority of children at the Mavs Bike Build community event were receiving the very first bicycle of their life and it all came for free.

NBA FIT Week runs from Sunday, March 21 to Saturday, March 27 and encourages the physical and mental well-being for fans of all ages. Last night, in honor of MAVS FIT and the 2021 NBA Fit Week, the Dallas Mavericks, Richardson Bike Mart and Pro Players Foundation hosted a bike build and donation for youth at Educational First Steps last night.
