Below is the announcement from NCVC on this year's Ed Sander Memorial CX Charity Raffle. Each $10 donation not only goes to the Chris Sander scholarship fund - it buys you a chance to win a 2010 Specialized Tricross Comp. (What an elegant looking bike.)
--
The National Capitol Velo Club is holding a charity raffle for NEW 2010 Specialized Tricross Comp Cyclocross Bike – a $1900 value. Proceeds from this raffle will go to the Chris Sander scholarship fund. Chris is the only son of former NCVC racer Ed Sander.
Ed was a longtime employee of Lilypons Water Gardens who died tragically in August 2001 in a training fall. Speaking volumes to his commitment of cycling, Ed’s workspace had two photos hanging in it. One of Lance Armstrong. The other was of Nicole Reinhart—a racer for Saturn who died after a crash in a race in 2000.
A total of 300 tickets will be sold at $10 each. Tickets are available at Bikereg.
The raffle winner will be announced at one of the crown jewels of Mid-Atlantic cyclocross racing: the Ed Sander Memorial at Lilypons Water Gardens in Buckeystown Maryland on September 27th at 1pm. No other race venue is so uniquely tied to the race that it hosts. Ed was the manager of the ponds and property at Lilypons, and was "part of the family" to the tight-knit staff and owners of the company. Each year, the race passes by a permanent memorial just past the finish line that was erected by Lilypons in honor of Sander.For full details on the bike, go to the Specialized website. The bike will be available to the winner at the Ed Sander Memorial Cyclocross race but the winner does NOT need to be present at the drawing. The winner will be able to exchange the bike for another size via the Spokes, Etc. shop.
Special thanks to Spokes, Etc. and Specialized bikes.
