Press Release - September 22, 2003
Polka Dot Essay Contest - Team Rubicon and the Lance Armstrong Ride for the
Roses
Team Rubicon /United Finance are currently accepting entries for our
Rubicon- Polka Dot Essay Contest through September 8, 2003. The winner will
receive the following Polka Dot prize package, courtesy of Team Rubicon and
the Lance Armstrong Peloton Project.
Team Rubicon is an elite Northwest cycling team based out of Oregon and an
active member of the Lance Armstrong Foundation's 2003 Peloton Project. The
Peloton Project is the Lance Armstrong Foundation's major grassroots
fundraising and outreach project. Comprised of cyclists, cancer survivors
and other volunteers who want to make a difference in the cancer
survivorship community, members raise funds and awareness for the LAF in
their local communities. Peloton members receive awards based on the amount
of money they raise. In the past 18 months the team has raised over $15K in
support of the LAF and its mission to support cancer survivors. As a
result, Team Rubicon has reached the 2003 Polka Dot Jersey Award level.
In the true spirit of our team and our mission to assist the LAF, we are
turning around and awarding this package to the author of the most
compelling essay regarding their battle with cancer. In particular, we are
looking for a young adult or teenager whose life has been affected by cancer
to write a short one page, 500 words or less, essay about why they should
get this opportunity. Entrants must be US Residents.
There is no specific formula to follow, we are simply hoping to help someone
who has dealt with or is currently fighting this disease to realize that
there are positive things to look forward to just around the corner. We
would like nothing better than to see a deserving person truly enjoy this
special event.
