Staff report GRACEVILLE — A Central Florida family has donated 22 new bikes for use by students on the campus of the Baptist College of Florida through an initiative called"Bikes for Mike." Mike Moran worked for Goodwill Industries and assisted many lower income families, according to a news release. His job was to find people employment, but he noticed there was another issue: many had no transportation, whether that was due to financial hardships or legal issues that resulted in losing their license. He began locating and giving away bikes to these families, for free, in order to allow them to work.
Moran's son, a lawyer, was in the Graceville area to meet with legal clients and heard about BCF. He reached out to BCF Financial Consultant and Business Professor Pete Chamberlain to see if “Bikes for Mike” would meet a need on the BCF campus.
