Speedgoat Raffles Bike for Breast Cancer Fund
Originally posted on August 30, 2009 at 16:48 pm
Speedgoat’s annual bike raffle to support the Breast Cancer Fund is now open. As in prior years, 100% of the proceeds from the $10 raffle tickets sales will go to the Breast Cancer Fund in their search for environmental links to cancer, and their promotion of consumer awareness. The big change is that the “pink bike” theme of the past has been replaced by a one-off Lynskey R230 frame and fork featuring custom purple and gold panels to go with gold hubs, headset, and bottom bracket, courtesy of Chris King. The bike is valued at just under $7,000.
“The Breast Cancer Fund is thrilled to once again be a part of Speedgoat Bicycle’s annual raffle,” said Julie Homan, senior cause marketing director. “The switch to a purple and gold bike—the Breast Cancer Fund’s signature colors—shows the company’s commitment to our mission to prevent breast cancer before it starts.” To date, Speedgoat has contributed nearly $80,000 to the Breast Cancer Fund with every cent from each $10 raffle ticket benefiting going to the organization.
