Spark & Riot is donating a bike rack to Birdie's Bookmobile's physical store in Detroit so kids can safely store their bikes when they visit. Birdie's Bookmobile, founded in June 2022 by Alyce Hartman, works to end book deserts by giving children free, diverse books, and has distributed more than 100,000 books across Metro Detroit. The rack is a small way to make it easier for kids to come in, browse, and take home books of their own.

During SXSW, Spark & Riot partnered with Austin Animal Services for a hands-on volunteer event supporting the dogs in their care. As the largest no-kill shelter in the country, Austin Animal Services provides safety, attention, and a path to adoption for thousands of animals. Amid the energy of the festival, our team spent time on the ground helping create more play, enrichment, and connection for the dogs, giving them the attention they deserve while supporting an organization rooted in compassionate care. It was a meaningful way to show up for the local community and leave Austin better than we found it.
