Think ASG and Two Wheels One Planet Chip In to End Pediatric Cancer
Tuesday night, after a 6 week run of raising funds, Dave Browning President of Think ASG an OC based IT Firm, and OTH Sponsor, shared what his team, along with Two Wheels One Planet has set out to do with their raffle and donations in the 2012 season.
“On behalf of thinkASG and Two Wheels, One Planet (tASG/TWOP) we wanted to say “thank you” for the great support of the OTH community thru the first half of 2012 season. As most are now aware, our challenge to our team was to Play, Promote and Pay it forward – i.e. have fun being fit, share a little about tASG/TWOP to the OTH participants and, most of all, recognize the blessing we all enjoy to be able to be part of OTH and share that gift forward to others in need. Many people want to help out on their own terms, making use of platforms like GoFundMe (and their blogposts, like https://www.gofundme.com/c/blog/childhood-cancer-awareness to name one example), which is also admirable.
“We present two venues directed at two charities that are very important to our collective families. For those that wish to contribute food items, we have bins and have been making significant donations to South County Outreach (SCO) on a weekly basis, look for those bins to be moved to the parking attendant spot in the second half so you can drop a couple cans or boxes along with your parking fee!
“And for those that want to chip in cash with a chance at winning a prize, we have been offering raffle tickets at $5/ with 100% of the proceeds going to Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF). The tASG family has a very close and direct interest in this foundation due to some internal family ties so it was the hand of God at work when Kristen at TWOP suggested we make that our second pay it forward focus. As many know, Tuesday, we raffled off the iPad and at the end of the 2nd half we will be raffling a Trek Cobia 29er courtesy of TWOP.
“It is with great pride that I share that your ticket purchases, along with generous matching from a shared tASG and OTH partner, Kawasaki, have reached $2,250 to date! Fate played again when we learned that the gentleman that put up a $100 bill for tickets last night was the holder of the ticket Matt drew, congrats to Rich deMichele! Again, much gratitude to our fellow OTH family for all that you have contributed and, please, keep it coming.
“Just think, with as many as 500 riders per week, if each of us brought one food item for race, bought just one more raffle ticket per event, we would give South county families 3000 items for the bare shelves and contribute $15,000 toward eliminating cancer in kids!”
So be a part for the second half of the season!
