All right gentlemen,
I'll put this out there. I saw a fb post about someone buying BMX bikes for kids in need at xmas. His sentiment was awesome. Give to a kid who could really appreciate a bike for christmas but whose parents couldn't afford to give one. It got me wanting to do something beyond the free jersey design.
I reached out to a friend who owns VerdeBMX, asking if they would be willing to sell me a few bikes at a good discount knowing it was going to charity. The said they'd be stoked to help. I've reached out to someone connected with OC big Brother Big Sisters and will be doing so for Ventura Co.
I know holidays are tight and we all struggle from time-to-time. God knows the last year two years for me have been a financial stress, but now that im back to doing better i'd like to give. If I could just buy the 3 or 4 bikes on my own I would but can't. So heres where I ask for your help.
I've set-up a paypal donation link below if you guys can give a dollar, 5, ten or 100. whatever you can do, I'm going to at least buy a bike to give to a kid. If you awesome guys can help me buy another or two or three id would be amazing
Verde is going to sell me (by extension us) bikes deeply discounted for this sole purpose. All I ask is your tme and if you can spare some money please do so. I would greatly appreciate reposting this anywhere you see fit.
I will be calling Verde tomorrow to see realistically how many bikes I can get and at what total cost. I'll kill the link once that goal is reached. And i'll be including everyones names who donated to both Verde and BB/BS.
Some of you guys know me either through jersey projects or generally saying horrible things.
paypal im currently using is blackohio@gmail.com

DONATE A BIKE
I dont want to put all my info on this forum but anyone who wants to donate please IM me i'll get you all my contact info. I promise you this is a good cause and Im forever grateful that the guys at VerdeBMX/Greenhouse distro and willing to help out.
Thanks Guys!
Thanks hombre! Thanks for giving and the kind words.
So, My goal is to pick-up the bikes Dec. 20th Gives me time to build them and deliver to BB/BS. On the 19th i'll kill whatever link and head to Rialto to pick-up said bikes.
So, I got off the phone with Verde. Steve has some Prism's out here in California. He's basically said I can get as many as I can raise money for. My goal was to be able to give 4 or 5 bikes to Big Brothers/Big Sisters Ventura. However if I can raise enough to buy 10, Steve will let me buy 10.
So with that, Im able to buy the bikes at $200/piece. I will for sure be buying 1 if not two on my own and with Binary's donation. IF you guys can help towards this goal i'd be eternally grateful. Im going to use a portion to buy helmets for the corresponding amount of bikes I can raise.
Current bike count via donations and myself: As of 12/17/13 we hit almost $2654 raised!
Im reaching out to some other companies about donating helmets or the $$ for helmets .
