Comoto Announces Partnership With Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF) to Support 37th Annual Ride for Kids

Ride for Kids is the longest-running, most successful motorcycle charity event in the nation – and Comoto, America’s largest Powersports aftermarket retailer, has just revealed that they are joining up with the Pediatric Brain Tumour Foundation (PBTF)  to support the organization’s month-long 2021 Ride For Kids Challenge.

With brain tumors now being the most common cancer found in children under 15, it is more important than ever to connect communities and contribute to forging the path to a cure.

Comoto has pledged to make a direct donation to PBTF for every mile logged in their REVER app, as well as offering proceeds of store sales. The two also plan on upping social media, fundraising, and other efforts to help PBTF meet its fundraising goal.

There are a few ways to become a part of this amazing event; you can ride with Comoto’s REVER app (or find a location to sign up for a Ride For Kids event), donate directly to PBTF, or shop at any of Comoto’s brand stores (Cycle Gear, J&P Cycles, and RevZilla). On Sunday, September 12th, 10% of all proceeds will go to PBTF.

“The work that is being done by PBTF is both personally and professionally close to my heart,” said Ken Murphy, President, and CEO of Comoto Holdings and Member of PBTF’s Board of Directors. “By joining forces with industry giants like Honda, we hope to help inspire the entire Powersports community to make Ride for Kids one of the industry’s most prolific philanthropic events for years to come. We’re grateful to be able to do our part, and hopefully, motivate our communities to make a difference in the lives of these children and their families.”

Podcasting Duo Set Out to Raise Money for Macmillan Cancer Support

Supporting the Cause

Chrissy Rouse and Dom Herbertson are no strangers to the world of motorsport. Chrissy is the 2020 National Superstock 1000 champion while Dom is an Isle of Man TT top-10 finisher. These riders know how to get what they want, and they have set their sites on raising thousands of dollars for Macmillan Cancer Support through auctioning off their beloved signed racing gear.

If you’ve ever listened to the ‘Chasin’ the Racin’ podcast, you probably know this duo and their plan very well. For those of you who are less informed, the podcasting duo began their journey into this project earlier this week when they took a Shark Race R Pro helmet and got it signed by a ton of guests from their show; Michael Rutter, Mick Grant, Josh Brookes, and Niall Mackenzie, to name a few.

the fundraiser began on Monday, November 16th, and is planned to last for a total of 7 days to end on the 23rd of November. 

“It’s amazing to see everyone coming together to raise good money for a worthy cause,” the British champion continued. “With the crash helmet, anything raised is good, but if I had to guess, I would hope to raise at least £2000 – but I’ve got no idea if that will happen or not.”

The helmet is currently up on eBay with bids sitting at £1,020.00 and can be found here. In the event you have some rare racing commodities you would be willing to part with to help further their cause, please contact them on Twitter @motorbikepod and they would be happy to accept the item for future auctions.
