To help beat brain cancer, Tucker is teaming with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation in support of its Ride for Kids program. And since it is a ride, who better than the Distribution giant’s network of 7000+ dealers to play host where the rubber meets the road? Dealers are being offered extensive resources to help them start or expand RFK events that raise money to support kids with brain cancer.
"Cancer kills more children each year than any other disease, and brain cancer is both the deadliest and most commonly diagnosed form of childhood cancer," notes Tucker's VP of Marketing, Lesley Madsen. “As a mother of two kids, I recognize the importance of supporting this effort and I know our dealers do as well."
The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s Ride for Kids nationwide program has raised tens of millions of dollars by partnering with motorcyclists, dealers and community partners who fundraise in support of the cause. Tucker's partnership with the organization will help dealers get support for their rides and the top fundraising dealers will be honored by Tucker and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a perfect time for dealers to roll out in support of children with cancer. Tucker dealers are being asked to consider creating an event that raises funds for this important cause. If they are already doing an event, Tucker encourages them to expand the program to raise funds for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s mission.
"We’re excited to team up with Tucker Powersports and their network of dealers during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month,” adds Bob McNamara, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s Director of Ride for Kids. “Pediatric brain cancer is the childhood cancer community’s biggest crisis and the need to raise money for research is now more urgent than ever before. Together, we can stop this disease and get children with brain cancer the lifesaving care they need,”
Tucker dealers have already received information on how to get involved with Ride for Kids Riders who would like to find a ride near them or start their own fundraiser, can visit rideforkids.org
