BOISE, Idaho, May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading technology solutions provider S1 IT Solutions is partnering with one of its customers, Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air, to build 40 bicycles destined for children in low-income families. About 25 employees of both companies will gather on Thursday, May 21, at Allegiant's offices in Las Vegas to assemble bikes for the Wish for Wheels program.

"At S1 IT Solutions, giving back to the communities in which we live and work is an important part of our business," according to Erik Cline, Vice President of Sales at S1. "We're proud to team up with our friends and colleagues at Allegiant to help the Wish for Wheels organization in its mission — to transform the lives of kids by broadening their personal growth and creating a healthy lifestyle through the gift of a bike."

Founded in 2004, Wish for Wheels works with businesses and volunteers to provide new bicycles and helmets to elementary school children. The bikes that S1 and Allegiant assemble will be donated to deserving kids through the Andre Agassi Clubhouse, an organization that reaches some of the most disadvantaged children in the Las Vegas area and is affiliated with the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada.
