TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Local underprivileged youth received early Christmas presents thanks to the generosity of the local community.

Because of your donations, a total of 421 bikes were collected for this year’s Bikes for Tykes campaign.

This past weekend, those bikes were assembled and delivered by volunteers from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

The fundraiser is hosted every year by WTHI, HI-99 and the Terre Haute Exchange Club.

Also, from all of us at News 10, we would like to say thank you to everyone involved in the campaign: builders, distributors and the donators.
