Subject: [OBRA Chat] Donations for Oregonian's racing the Cyclo-cross
World
Championships
Folks,
As many people have read here and in the newspaper, 5 racers from
Oregon have been selected to compete at the Cyclo-cross World
Championships in the Netherlands this year. A couple of these racers
have sponsorship or Federation support that pays for this trip. For
most, being selected to the team means that they will be paying
somewhere over $2000 out of their own pocket. That does not include
taking a week and 1/2 off from work. All the racers know that they will
have to pay to attend, but it is still a significant expense. This cost
includes airfare, lodging, and a fee to USA Cycling.
If you would like to donate money to support these local racers,
please send a check to OBRA with a note on the letter or check
indicating it is for cyclo-cross worlds. OBRA will give all the donated
money to the local racers that are going. As an added bonus, the
donation is tax deductible.
Please send to:
OBRA
P.O. Box 16355
Portland, OR 97292
Thanks, Jon
