When Robbie Jacobs opened his consignment shop, Back in the Game Sports, he overheard a couple discussing their struggle to afford a bike for their child. Touched by their situation, Robbie decided to give them a bike, marking the start of a life-changing tradition. He began collecting bikes through donations and personally repaired any that needed fixing, ensuring children in need could experience the joy of owning a bike. Robbie offers these repairs for free, using his skills to give back to the community.
Over the years, his generosity has grown into a remarkable mission. Robbie has now donated over 12,000 bikes, many of which have been sent to underserved communities, extending his impact beyond his local area. Guided by the belief that "kindness is more important than profits," Robbie has made compassion the cornerstone of his work. His shop, located at 16 S Main Street in Florida, NY, continues to serve as a hub for this extraordinary effort.
Through his dedication and selflessness, Robbie is creating a positive legacy, showing how one person's actions can inspire and uplift an entire community. His ongoing commitment to helping children is a testament to the power of kindness and the lasting change it can bring.
