Wheel Fun Rentals Offers Free Swan Pedal Boat and Bike Rentals for Los Angeles Area Non-Profit Organizations “Wednesdays with Wheel Fun Rentals”

For Immediate Release:
July 8, 2021
Los Angeles, CA – Wheel Fun Rentals announces it will again be offering FREE rentals to nonprofit organizations in the Los Angeles Metro Area with a program called “Wednesdays with Wheel Fun Rentals!” Every Wednesday, Wheel Fun Rentals will be donating rental equipment, completely free of charge, to four charity organizations.

Officially named “Wednesdays with Wheel Fun Rentals,” the program was put on-hold in 2020 due to COVID-19 safety measures. With restrictions now lifted, Wheel Fun Rentals once again is offering local charities a free two-hour recreational rental group event. The program accommodates four nonprofit groups each Wednesday morning for up to 20 participants in each group. Reservations are required, and dates book up fast. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to make their reservation as soon as possible by calling (805) 650-7770.

“For over 15 years we’ve been offering free rentals to Big Brothers Big Sisters Chapters through a program we started called Biking & Boating Buddies,” said Al Stonehouse, Wheel Fun Rental’s President. “We are proud to take our community support a step further and invite all 501c3 nonprofit organizations to join us for two hours of free recreation on Wednesdays.”

Wheel Fun Rentals is offering this program at all four of its Los Angeles area locations including Echo Park Swan Boats, Lake Balboa Swan Boats and Bikes in Van Nuys, Rainbow Lagoon Swan Boats, and Shoreline Village Bike Rentals in Long Beach. Nonprofits that take advantage of this program will have the opportunity to glide across the water in Swan Boats or have the opportunity to use a full range of bikes and specialty cycles. Here is just a small sample of the organizations that took advantage of the program in 2019, see list here >.

The “Wednesdays with Wheel Fun Rentals” program is the perfect opportunity for nonprofit groups to thank their volunteers, show appreciation to donors, or use as a group and teambuilding event for staff and/or the people they serve. Of course, kids are welcome, too! Children of any age are permitted to use rental equipment with a chaperone that is at least 18 years old. Reminder: only four nonprofits are booked each Wednesday (one at each location) and reservations fill up fast. Nonprofit organizations should reserve their spot by contacting Wheel Fun Rentals at (805) 650-7770 and mention the Wednesdays with Wheel Fun Rentals program.

Wheel Fun Rentals also regularly donates gift cards valued at $80 to local schools and charity organizations for their fundraising efforts. To make a request send letter and tax ID # to donations@wheelfunrentals.com.
