After several P.M's with BK it has been decided that this will be the best place to post this request.
I originally offered to send a $100 coffee/tea gift basket for BK to raffle with half the proceeds going to the forum and the other half going to www.ride4kids.org.
It has been decided by BK that all the proceeds will go to the Ride4Kids charity. Thanks BK you are the man.....;)
For those who don't know what this is all about take a look at the website. It is the WORLD'S biggest donator to the research of brain tumors in children. Brain tumors, other than homicides and accidents, is the biggest killer of children between the age of birth and 16......quite a scary thought.
The charity holds numerous rides across the USA to which Honda donate a motrcycle to every ride. So there is a connection between the Repsol gang and the charity.
This year at the Torrance ride $216,000 was raised, some major contributions were made by various Ride groups with some of them donating over $25,000 !!!.
I want this Forum to be one of the groups to be recognized as a major donator. I realize we are only a small group, but every member knows someone else and they know someone else etc etc. So come on guys lets make this happen.
I am going to set the ball rolling by raffling a $100 gift basket, the winner can inform me of their choice's ...coffee, tea, coffee mugs etc etc. The tickets will be $1 each and for every $10 of tickets you buy I will personally mail you 1lb of coffee for free. Thats a win, win situation !!!!!! If any members live close to each other, all I would ask is if I could combine shipments to reduce shipping costs.
So bug your work colleagues, family and friends.
If anyone would like to organize an event with the proceeds going to the charity, feel free to make it happen.
This is the #1 Forum, BK is a top notch guy, the members can make this happen, so get your thinking caps on.
I will post details of how to obtain tickets and how to send the monies. Anyone wanting extra tickets will be able to print them and forward them with the money to BK for the BIG draw.
Thanks to All
