Fourteen years ago, Super Country 99.9 began participating in the Bikes for Tykes campaign.
Bikes for Tykes is a program that distributes bicycles through the Salvation Army to ensure every child has a bike in America.
So far, Super Country 99.9 have raised more than 15,000 bicycles for children in Henry County, Patrick County, Franklin County and Martinsville.
This year, radio personality "Amy P" will climb on a scaffold on top of the McDonalds in Rocky Mount to raise bikes.
She says she will not come down from the scaffold till 99 bikes have been donated.
The big goal to reach by December 18th is 1,281 bikes.
