MEDIA ADVISORY

                 Ride For Kids®             

South Bend, Indiana – Sunday, July 12, 2009

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Date:  6/12/2009

CONTACT:     Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation

                  800-253-6530

 

WHAT: Hundreds of motorcyclists riding together through the scenic countryside in a visually stunning column, beginning and ending at Pinhook Park in South Bend. Their goal is to raise money for research into pediatric brain tumors, which are the deadliest type of childhood cancer.

The leisurely ride is escorted by South Bend, St Joseph & LaPorte County police. It will culminate with a Celebration of Life program featuring onstage interviews with local childhood brain tumor survivors and award presentations to top fundraising chapters/clubs, individuals and motorcycle businesses. Special Ride For Kids® premiums will be distributed, and there will be a drawing for the grand-prize—a brand-new Honda motorcycle! Enjoy free coffee and pastries for breakfast and a light lunch at the end point.

Proceeds of the event benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s medical research grants and family support programs. The Ride for Kids® program has raised more than $50 million to find the cause of and cure for childhood brain tumors. Research supported by the PBTF has led to treatments that are extending the lives of children afflicted with brain tumors.
