Bikes & Badges: Anchorage Cops for Community (AC4C), Kendall Toyota of Anchorage, and Hilltop Unite to Empower Kids Through Biking
For many kids, the simple joy of riding a bike is a childhood staple—a first taste of independence, adventure, and confidence. But for children living in shelters, access to bikes, lessons, and safe places to ride can be limited. That’s why AC4C (Anchorage Cops for Community), Hilltop, and Kendall Toyota of Anchorage are coming together to host a special event, Bikes & Badges, dedicated to giving these kids the opportunity to experience the joy of cycling.
Anchorage Cops for Community: Making a Difference
At the heart of this event is AC4C, Anchorage Police Union’s non-profit initiative. AC4C is committed to building strong relationships between law enforcement and the community by engaging citizens in positive, impactful ways. Through the support, Anchorage’s officers go beyond their duty to make a real difference in children’s lives. Events like Bikes & Badges allow officers to connect with kids, empowering them with opportunities to learn new skills while fostering trust and encouragement.
The event will offer:
Bike Lessons – Hilltop’s team of expert coaches will be available to instruct children on riding safely and with confidence, while Police Officers promote encouragement and positive interactions.
Bike Rentals – Rentals will be provided for kids without bikes so everyone gets a chance to participate.
Fun & Games – A day filled with activities designed to keep the energy high and spirits lifted.
Food & Refreshments – No great event is complete without delicious snacks to fuel the fun.
Why It Matters
For children facing housing insecurity, this event provides more than just a fun day out—it’s a chance to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Learning to ride a bike isn’t just about fun; it’s about confidence, resilience, and the freedom to explore. Thanks to AC4C and the dedicated officers of the Anchorage Police Department, along with the support of Hilltop and Kendall Toyota of Anchorage, these kids will leave not only with new skills but also with memories of encouragement and community support.
Join us in making a difference—one bike ride at a time.
