In a unique community collaboration, the Santa Monica-Malibu Education Foundation (SMMEF) partnered with Pedego Santa Monica and TREATS Frozen Yogurt and Dessert Bar to encourage donations supporting innovative programs in the Santa Monica-Malibu public schools.
For every $50 donated to SMMEF between March 9 and April 14, each donor was entered in a drawing to win a Pedego Electric Bike, valued at more than $2,700 (including tax).
A total of 166 people were entered into the bike drawing during the time period; $55,215 was raised for SMMEF.
The drawing was held Wednesday at 5:30 pm at TREATS in Santa Monica; the winner of the bike was Elle Triedman.
The pale blue Pedego Comfort Cruiser was donated by Barb and Steve Wittels, owners of Pedego Santa Monica.
“The Pedego and TREATS collaboration has been a tremendous way to encourage our community to donate to SMMEF,” said SMMEF Executive Director Linda Greenberg. “All donations will directly impact children in the Santa Monica-Malibu public schools by funding additional staff, arts education, and a variety of innovative programs, including science and technology instruction. We are so thankful to Pedego, TREATS and all the donors for supporting our students!”
