Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association

A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who donated, attended our events, and shared our page during Long Beach Gives.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised over $37,000- the most we have ever raised in our campaign history! 🥳💛

Every single dollar will go right back into the heart of Bixby Knolls. We’ll be using these funds to keep our streets clean, host the community events you know and love, and support our amazing small businesses.

Thank you for believing in our neighborhood and helping us make Bixby Knolls a place where everyone thrives. We couldn’t do this without you! 🙌

✨ DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT! ✨

Today, you have three chances to make your Long Beach Gives donation go twice as far! 💛 During these matching hours, your gift will be matched by some of our amazing community partners:

9 AM | $1,000 match by CSI Patrol Service
12 PM | $1,000 match by Paul & Susan Forman Family Trust
6 PM | $500 match by Great Officials / Cute Little Wedding Chapel

That means $10 can become $20, $50 can become $100, and your support goes even further toward helping BKCF fund arts & culture, community programs, Clean & Safe efforts, and support for our local businesses. 🙌

And tonight at 6:30pm, join us for Knights of the Round (Turn)Table, our music club, featuring Dave Matthews Band at Beachwood! Come hang, listen to the music on vinyl, and keep the Long Beach Gives momentum going. 🍻🎸

Today we ride! 🚲 Grab your bike, bring the family, and join us for our monthly Kidical Mass neighborhood bike ride.

This month’s ride is extra special as we celebrate our ongoing Long Beach Gives fundraising campaign and the community that makes Bixby Knolls so great. 🧡 PLUS, it’s our School Spirit Bike Ride! 🎓 Wear a shirt from your school or favorite university and show off your school pride.

New riders, families, kids, and adults of all ages are welcome! Enjoy free treats along the route, get some bike TLC at Pedal Movement’s bike mechanic pop-up, and hang out before and after the ride with great beats from DJ Dave. 🎶

Plus, stop by the BK Community Foundation booth to check out our curated baskets of fidget toys, NeeDohs, and more, all up for bid in our silent auction! 💫

FRIDAY BRIEFING – BIXBY KNOLLS GIVES

https://mailchi.mp/bixbyknollsinfo/bixby-brief-september-18-10409304

Hi everyone!

Yesterday marked the official launch of Long Beach Gives, and we need your support! Every donation helps us raise vital funds for three core pillars that keep our neighborhood thriving: expanding our Clean & Safe programs to keep public spaces inviting, backing over 900 local businesses through dedicated marketing and resources, and funding our arts & culture programs that bring creative, vibrant experiences to life across Bixby Knolls.

Speaking of vibrant events, we have two huge gatherings happening this weekend — and tickets are almost sold out! An evening of total relaxation awaits with Bliss & Beats TONIGHT, and tickets for the ALL NEW Bixby University tomorrow, September 19th, are down to the final few. Grab yours before they are completely gone!

The community momentum keeps rolling right through the week. Dust off your bikes for a special Kidical Mass ride on September 20th, check out Rasselbock's Oktoberfest kickoff this weekend, or treat your teen to a beauty special from Urban Skin Works.
