MANKATO, Minn. – Vikings players weren’t the only ones riding bicycles on the campus of Minnesota State University, Mankato Wednesday morning.
More than 25 young people from Rosa Parks Elementary School were on hand for a $50,000 grant awarded from The Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee (MNSBHC) Legacy Fund. The donation was made to Blue Earth County Public Health for the purchase of 60 bikes and two bike trailers for local schools.
Blue Earth County Public Health promotes a “BE WELL” initiative that continuously seeks out ways to make biking and walking more accessible for Mankato’s residents.
