Can you believe it's almost time for school...again?  Soon, Quad Cities parents are going to be sending the little ones (and the ones that aren't so little anymore) to school with all the supplies they need for another year of learning.

However, not all families in the Quad Cities can afford the supplies that their children need for the school year.  That is where bikers step in and step up to get these kids what they need!
