The Zweben Law Group Bike Drive Kickoff Party opens a yearly campaign that puts brand-new bikes in the hands of Martin County children. Zweben Law Group runs the drive with United Way of Martin County. The bikes go to local families facing financial hardship through the United Way Toys For Tots Holiday Project.
The kickoff is held at Dolphin Bar & Shrimp House on Indian River Drive in Jensen Beach. It is an early evening gathering. A ticket covers one drink and appetizers, and tickets can be bought online ahead of time or at the door. The party is the main fundraiser for the drive. Ticket sales and direct donations both count, and every dollar raised pays for bikes and helmets.
The partnership between Zweben Law Group and United Way of Martin County has continued for more than a decade. Founder Gene Zweben ties the effort to what a first new bike means to a child. He describes it as freedom and a rite of passage, and for some kids it is also a way to get to school.
The party suits local business owners, neighbors, and anyone who wants to support holiday giving in Martin County while meeting others who care about the cause. If you can’t make it, you can still donate through United Way of Martin County. For more to do nearby, see our guide to events in Jensen Beach.
