🚲 Road to 500 Bikes

A bicycle is more than transportation — it's a meaningful gift that encourages healthy activity, creates lasting memories, and shows a child that their community cares.

Our Story
From Our Neighborhood to Yours
Arizona In Action was founded by John Coughlin in Sunnyslope with one simple goal: to make a positive difference in the lives of Arizona children.
What started as a family effort in a garage has grown into a community-driven nonprofit supported by volunteers, businesses, and partners across Arizona.
Although we've grown, our mission remains the same — to create hope, inspire joy, and strengthen communities through acts of kindness.

Stories of Hope
Every Bike Has a Story
These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.
That kid ran to his bike before we even finished setting it down. He didn't say a word — he just got on and started riding. That moment is why we keep going.

Founder, Arizona In Action
I've volunteered at a lot of events, but nothing hits like watching a child realize the bike is actually theirs to keep. You can't fake that reaction.

Holiday Delivery 2025
My son asks every morning if he can ride his bike. Before Arizona In Action, he didn't have one. Now it's the first thing he thinks about when he wakes up.
