Tailwind for Tools Fundraiser

  • Jarvis Square Alfresco 1500 West Jarvis Avenue Chicago, IL, 60626 United States (map)

The Recyclery’s annual fundraiser.

The event is free with a suggested donation which can be done either online here or at the event! RSVP here to celebrate along.

The Recyclery is a non-profit bike shop providing services to our local community with free educational Open Shop hours for people to repair their own bikes; the Freecyclery program which refurbished donated bikes and distributes them through our partner organizations; Youth Programs providing leadership opportunities; and our Femme/Trans/Women/Non-Binary open shop hours serving a historically excluded part of the bike community. 

This year, they are making a goal to raise $10,000 by the end of the year to celebrate the huge milestone of refurbishing 10,000 bikes at our shop. The Tailwind For Tools annual fundraiser is a means to cover our expenses that are not covered by sales of used bikes.

To give thanks to all of their supporters, they are hosting a fundraiser party sponsored by Equiticity and Main Street America that will include a group ride, several live bands, food from R Public House, raffles, speakers, upcycled crafts, and bike activities! 

If you plan on eating some food, loaning a bike for the group ride, volunteering, or giving a raffle item, they ask that you please fill out the RSVP
