BOB’S BMW ANNOUNCES “THE ULTIMATE BIKE RAFFLE” TO SUPPORT THE PEDIATRIC BRAIN TUMOR FOUNDATION AND ITS RIDE FOR KIDS®
(Columbia, MD) – Bob’s BMW has just announced “The Ultimate Bike Raffle” to raise money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Bob Henig, owner of Bob’s BMW, has been an active advocate of the Ride for Kids® for over 14 years. Not only has Henig and Bob’s BMW raised the largest individual and dealership amounts for the last several years in the Baltimore-Washington ride held in Columbia, Maryland, Henig is one of the highest individual fundraisers in Ride for Kids® history.
This raffle – the first of its kind – will support the 2008 Ride for Kids® fundraising effort and the Baltimore/DC Metro ride scheduled for September 21, 2008. The Ultimate Bike Raffle offers motorcycle enthusiasts a chance to win a complete package consisting of a fully equipped new BMW motorcycle, head-to-toe riding apparel, and many other extras, with a total value of about $19,000.
One Grand Prize winner will receive all of the following:
• Winner's choice of a new BMW F800ST, F800S or F800GS
• $1500 worth of riding & casual apparel from Bob’s top suppliers
• $1500 in top brand name motorcycle accessories
• A two-day on-the-road riding school from The Rider's Workshop
• Transportation, hotels and meals for four full days
• Fuel for first 600 miles, break-in service, plus personal consultation with a BMW technician
Several additional second prizes of riding gear and accessories will also be awarded. The grand prize package in the “Ultimate Bike Raffle” was purposely chosen to appeal to a wide variety of motorcyclists: both new riders just getting started and experienced riders wishing to upgrade their ride along with some great accessories and riders training.
Tickets for the raffle are $40 each, or three for $100. Those choosing the three-ticket option will also receive a special T-shirt from Bob’s BMW. Tickets can be purchased online or at the dealership either in person or by phone. The official drawing will be held on Saturday, October 4th during the annual Bob’s BMW Oktoberfest event.
Mike Traynor, President of the PBTF stated, “We are very grateful to Bob Henig and his staff at Bob’s BMW for their continued commitment to providing help and hope to pediatric brain tumor patients through their support of the Ride for Kids program. This Bob’s BMW motorcycle promotion will be a tremendous boost to our research and family support programs”. Since 1984, the national Ride for Kids® program and PBTF have promoted childhood brain tumor research and provided family support through free literature about brain tumors, educational newsletters, online conferences and college scholarships. With the help of America's motorcyclists and motorcycle dealers, PBTF has become the world's largest non-governmental source of funding for childhood brain tumor research.
