We’re so pleased to announce that our 2012 Jackpot Challenge has raised over $43,000! This is a record amount and we also set a new record this year for the largest amount ever raised by an individual at
$11,755.
We would like to thank to Feld Motorsports for their support and encouragement for this year’s event. We also got great support from the teams and riders with tweets and Facebook posts that drove a lot of awareness. The industry supported us with great prizes (thanks again Motorcycle Superstore!) Finally, a very well-deserved thank you to all who participated in Canada and the United States. We witnessed some really great fund raising tactics this year – use of Facebook and other social media tools, pizza parties, bake sales, and lots of door-to-door efforts. Hats off to all of you as these funds will make a real difference in the lives of children who suffer from hydrocephalus.
We hope to see you all back next year! Stay tuned for details about the Jackpot Challenge in 2013!
Toronto SX Inside Line Experience Wrap Up – 17,000 Winning Reasons
Watching Ryan Villopoto and Justin Barcia race to their victory’s Saturday night in Toronto’s Rogers Centre were 9 other winners, too. These were the top fund raisers for this year’s MX for Children Inside Line Experience for Toronto’s SickKids Hospital. Having raised well over $17,000 in total – our ILE’ers experienced the Monster Energy Supercross stop in Toronto in an exclusive up close and personal fashion during the race weekend. Starting with ‘MX for Children Only’ access to Thursday’s Press Day, ILE’ers got to hang out with World Motocross Champions
Marvin Musquin and Ken Roczen, who later put on a private Supercross practice for the group. On race day morning we visited with Kevin Windham inside his Geico Honda team rig as well as experienced Monster Energy Kawasaki and Yoshimura Suzuki private rig tours. A track walk in mid-afternoon showcased to all how difficult and steep obstacles on the Dirt Wurx designed track really were! Finally, the “Industry Seating” allowed greatviews into the night’s racing action. We’d like to thank all of our 2012 Inside Line Experience participants for a great Toronto race experience, and most importantly their great contribution to the SickKids Foundation.
