Joey Beaver, a junior welding student from New Philadelphia who attends Buckeye Career Center, was gifted a 26-inch mountain bike, along with a bag of accessories, from Next Generation.

Next Generation is made up of United Steelworkers Local 2737 members and collects, refurbishes and distributes bicycles to adults and children in need.

Buckeye Career Center nurse Tia McCoury saw an article in a local newspaper about the group and the services they provide. McCoury contacted the group to see if she could obtain a bike for Beaver, who frequently walks from home to school, which takes about an hour. The group responded almost immediately and presented the bike to Beaver on Tuesday, May 15 at Buckeye Career Center.

Steelworkers Union members Dusty Kinsey, Cory Ayers and Lillian Miller attended the presentation.
