A true community partnership allowed 31 Todd County children to receive bicycles this Christmas.
Novelis and the Back To Back Foundation provided the bicycles, while the Elkton Rotary Club utilized WEKT Radio to collect the nominations.
The Guthrie factory, which features pretreatment and heat treatment finishing lines that prepare aluminum for use in vehicle parts, provided the first 17 bikes.
For Back To Back Founder Brice Long, when he heard there were an additional 14 nominations, he knew what they had to do.
Rhonda Werner, a member of the Elkton Rotary Club, saw to it that every family nominated received their bicycles Thursday afternoon at Petrie Memorial Methodist Church.
During Thursday afternoon’s distribution in Elkton, around 15 Todd County families were blessed with Christmas presents from the Back To Back Foundation.
