(ASQ: Milwaukee) -- “Free wheeling” will take on a new meaning at the ASQ World Conference on Quality and Improvement in Pittsburgh, May 16–18. Attendees of the annual American Society for Quality (ASQ) World Conference plan to give back to the community through a special build-a-bike initiative they hope will be the beginning of many exciting journeys for local kids.

To kick off the campaign, a number of fully assembled bikes and helmets will be presented to children from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania in a ceremony Monday, May 16, at 5:30 p.m. The ceremony will take place just outside Exposition Hall A on the second floor of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Mike Hepler, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Boys and Girls Clubs, will be in attendance. Fifty bicycles assembled in this program during the conference will be donated to children from the Boys and Girls Clubs. Participants will be asked to leave their signatures and special messages for the children in a giant “Ride Well” card.
