In 2025, Can’d Aid and Yasso partnered for the third consecutive Give Back Tour, hosting large company-sponsored community events across 12 cities
LONGMONT, Colorado (December 9, 2025) — Yasso and national nonprofit Can’d Aid wrapped up 2025 by putting 1,200 new bikes into the hands of kids nationwide, capping a year-long effort powered by hundreds of volunteers and a shared mission to get children outside and active.
Through its Game On! initiative, Yasso sought a way to bring employees and communities together around a single philanthropic project. The company partnered with Can’d Aid to host public bike-building events in 12 cities, mobilizing Yasso staff and local volunteers to assemble kid-sized cherry-red bikes for students at Title I elementary schools. For many recipients, it was their first bike.
The National Give Back Tour stopped in Austin, Nashville, Denver, San Francisco, Bentonville, Minneapolis, Englewood Cliffs, Burlington, Cincinnati, Seattle, Asheville, and Charlotte. At each event, Can’d Aid organized community volunteers and guided the hands-on assembly process before distributing the finished bikes to children in need.
Can’d Aid Founder Diana Hicks said the events strengthen both communities and corporate culture, noting that employees and volunteers gain as much from the experience as the children who receive the bikes.
The 2025 effort marked the third consecutive year of the Yasso–Can’d Aid partnership, which has now delivered a combined 3,600 bikes to kids across the country. Both organizations share the belief that access to bikes encourages healthy habits, lifelong physical activity, and confidence in young riders.
Yasso Senior Brand Manager Kelsey Gill said the collaboration works because Can’d Aid provides a turnkey volunteer experience while Yasso supplies resources and eager helpers.
Can’d Aid, founded in 2013, has built and donated more than 21,700 new bikes and skateboards with the help of more than 33,700 volunteers nationwide. Yasso, known for its frozen Greek yogurt and commitment to health and wellness, continues to expand its community-focused Game On! program as part of its purpose-driven mission.
