BP Products North America Inc. of Naperville donated nine bicycles with training wheels to CASA Kane County, a local nonprofit, volunteer organization that advocates for the best interests of abused and neglected children within the Juvenile Court System. The program has 242 active volunteer CASA’s (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and served 552 children throughout Kane County last year.

This donation was made possible through BP’s teambuilding session held at a semi- annual meeting intended to educate employees on the importance of continuous improvement.

Angela Brandenburger and John Diendorf were two of the BP employees who helped build the bikes.

“We thought it would be great if we could donate the bikes to CASA Kane County so some of their foster kids could have new bikes to enjoy for the summer,” she said.

Giving back to the community is part of BP’s People Team agenda which aims to provide opportunities to their employees that supports the communities in which BP does business.
