At Huffy, we believe in the power of movement—on two wheels and in our communities. That’s why this May, during National Bike Month and Mental Health Month, we’re proud to announce our partnership with Dayton Children’s Hospital to support their On Our Sleeves® campaign, a national movement to transform children’s mental health.
Mental health is just as vital as physical health, especially for our kids. It affects how they think, feel, and grow—and yet it’s often overlooked. The On Our Sleeves campaign, powered by the Kids Mental Health Foundation, is changing that. With free, expert-developed resources for parents, caregivers, and educators, the initiative is leading a much-needed national conversation about children’s mental wellness.
The Power of Pedals and Positivity
To celebrate this partnership, Huffy and Dayton Children’s are teaming up to highlight how something as simple as a bike ride can be a powerful boost to a child’s mental health. Want to learn more about how biking can benefit kids' minds as much as their muscles? Check out the blog on Dayton Children’s website that explores the connection between cycling and mental wellness.
But we’re not stopping at awareness—we’re taking action.
A Bike That Tells a Story
On May 7, in honor of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day, Huffy presented Dayton Children’s with a one-of-a-kind On Our Sleeves-branded cruiser bike. This eye-catching ride is more than just a bike—it’s a symbol of hope, health, and the freedom that comes with feeling supported.
Following the event at Dayton Children’s main campus, this custom cruiser will be raffled off, with proceeds going directly to support the On Our Sleeves mission. It’s one more way we’re turning movement into momentum for mental health.
Double the Impact: $25,000 Matching Gift Challenge
To make an even bigger difference, Huffy has committed to a $25,000 Matching Gift Challenge throughout May and June. That means every dollar donated to Dayton Children’s during this time will be matched by Huffy—dollar for dollar.
Whether it’s $5 or $500, your gift will go twice as far to help children and families facing mental health challenges. It’s a powerful way to give back, and to move forward—together.
Join Us in the Movement
Mental health isn’t just a moment. It’s a movement—and it starts with all of us. We invite you to join the On Our Sleeves campaign, receive monthly mental wellness resources, and help us create a world where every child feels seen, supported, and strong.
This May, let’s ride for more than just fun. Let’s ride for a future where every child has the tools they need to thrive—mind, body, and spirit.
