Our Social Responsibility
Trek donates $1 to People for Bikes with each Bontrager helmet purchase. Also Trek donates $5 to IMBA (International Mountain Bike Association) with each Trek full-suspension mountain bike purchase. At the end of the year, Robbie and Marie Mott MATCH this amount. These donations contribute to local programs such as SAMBA, Delta Bike Project, as well as philanthropic organizations in the Pensacola, Florida area.
By partnering with Trek, we believe in their good will and support the following entities below (scroll over). Bikes bring, joy, health and a better way of living to our communities and we're involved locally with our IMBA chapter as well, South Alabama Mountain Bike Association—SAMBA.
