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
