Adopt and AfricaBike:
The Hank & Frank's Solution...
One of Kona's NorCal dealers, Hank & Frank's in Lafayette, CA. was looking for a way to help show their support for the BikeTown AfricaBike program, and they suggested the following idea:
Q - How much would it cost for me to adopt an AfricaBike, that is buy one and donate it to the cause?
And, we thought...WHAT AN AMAZING IDEA...because so many people have been asking us how they can contribute and we never had a good answer. Now we do...
We are formalizing the program, the Hank & Frank's Adopt an AfricaBike Fund. Here's how it will work:
- For $100, you, your shop, your family...can adopt an AfricaBike.
- Payment can be made either through our PayPal account (mgeraci@base-camp1.com), by mailing a check to Base Camp (USA), KonaWorld (Canada) or Kona Europe (other international). See addresses below.
- Along with your check, you can include a small sticker from your favorite bike shop and we will paste it on to the bike.
- After the adopted bike is built and tested, we will take a photo of the bike and email it to you upon our return.
- We'll keep a gallery of the bikes posted on this site as well as a listing of people and organizations that have adopted a bike.
Tax deductible donations can also be made through The Rodale Institute (www.rodaleinstitute.org/biketownafrica). Make a donation through the institute before Dec. 31, 2006 and be eligible to win a variety of sweet prizes.
All funds collected through this program will go towards financing future AfricaBike projects. That's it. We'll keep it clean and simple, an efficient way to support the program. If you have any questions, you can leave them as comments.
