Highlighted by “Malcolm’s Corner” on the show floor, a live auction and generous donations, the industry rallied at AIMExpo to raise more than $33,000 for worthy causes, including Malcolm Smith’s Foundation.  The live auction alone raised almost $20,000 to support injured athletes and fund education for children in Mexico.

“The generosity on display at AIMExpo was a testament to the spirit of this industry and its willingness to give back,” said Ryan Keefe, Vice President of Marketing for National Powersport Auctions. “These funds will make a tangible difference and we’re proud to have played a part.”

Hosted by National Powersport Auctions, the event featured Malcolm Smith memorabilia and other auction items, with all proceeds directed to the Road 2 Recovery Foundation and the Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation. When the final gavel came down, the auction generated $19,730, with an additional $13,650 collected through direct donations. Sales of MSR event shirts are ongoing, with proceeds expected to raise an additional $10,000.

“The support from the powersports community was incredible,” added Cinnamon Kernes, MIC Vice President of Market Expansion. “Every bid and every donation represents a real commitment to helping those in need, whether it’s an injured rider working toward recovery or a child gaining access to education.”

Road 2 Recovery provides financial assistance and resources to injured athletes in the powersports industry. The Malcolm Smith Motorsports Foundation funds education for children at El Oasis Orphanage in Valle Trinidad, Baja Norte, Mexico.
