PINK RIBBON FUNDRAISER
Many of you will remember we held a little fundraiser back in June. The fundraiser benefited the LAF, who has been very helpful to a friend of Ibis who has cancer. A $5 raffle ticket bought you a ticket, the grand prize being a brand new Ibis SilkSL road bike with full Dura Ace group (generously donated by Shimano).
The upshot? We raised $37,505.
Well, Shimano is back at it again, fighting the good fight. They’ve teamed up with five frame builders to offer five custom bicycles being auctioned to raise funds for the Young Survival Coalition (YSC).
The month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Shimano Alfine Pink Ribbon Fundraiser is now LIVE, lasting through October 30, 2008, and 100% of the proceeds go to the YSC.
Each handcrafted bicycle is unique – with its own flair and personality. From the custom bicycle designs to the custom paint and graphics to the unique accessories like custom leather bags and real wood fenders, each bicycle tells an individual builder’s story and reflects their own style. The custom frame builders include, Ellsworth Handcrafted Bicycles, Rock Lobster Bicycles, Sycip Designs, Torelli Bicycle Company and Vicious Cycles.
