Rider Down and Blue Ribbon at Indy
February 11, 2010, 7:00pm
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - This weekend, the RiderDown Foundation is teaming with the BlueRibbon Coalition at the Dealer Expo in Indy.
The RiderDown Foundation (RDF) has procured two vintage, metal signs which were inspired by Bruce Brown and the classic movie, “On Any Sunday”. The signs are framed in a white mat and will be displayed at the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) Booth on Saturday to gather autographs from a number of moto-heros. Saturday night, the pictures will travel to the Trail Rider Magazine/Wicked Motorsports party with Gonzo rider, Charlie Williams, for more signatures. Sunday it’s back to the show for more autographs. RDF hopes that Malcolm and others from On Any Sunday will be there to sign the actual metal signs, while other luminaries will autograph the outside mat border; creating what will truly become a collector’s piece. Every person who autographs the artwork will be carefully recorded (these champions know all about going fast, but signatures are often hard to read).
“We will have trouble parting with these,” stated Bruce Vermeulen of the RDF “but for the good of our causes we will forgo the temptation to sneak them onto our office wall. We are planning to auction both pieces off later to benefit both RiderDown.org and the BlueRibbon Coalition. So if you are approached at the dealer show to sign some metal signs with Bruce Brown’s name on them, be proud you made the cut and sign for the good of the sport!”
RDF would like to thank BRC for stepping up and helping with this, as well as Josh Williams, Director of Pandemonium at Old Bob’s (visit www.OldBobs.com) for coming up with this fantastic idea and handling all the details.
About RiderDown Foundation: With a nationwide network of volunteers ready to lend support and assistance to injured riders, RiderDown is actively giving back to the off road community. As a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable organization, RiderDown has been delivering on its mission of “Helping Riders Up” since 2005. Dedicated to helping responsible off-road motorcyclists and ATV racers who have been injured while riding, proceeds are used to provide assistance to riders and their families when faced with medical expenses and related issues. The medical bill review team they work with has saved injured riders thousands of dollars on excessive and/or unnecessary medical charges and their “Angels” visit injured riders in the hospital and at home, offering a friendly voice during difficult times.
