We just wanted thank everyone who supported our carwash today down at Wilcox furniture. Some of you asked who we are and what the money is used for. Hopefully the blog gives you some idea about who we are. As for what the money is used for? Well, it costs us $900 just to register for the race. In addition to our registration fees we have to pay for hotel, gas, race contests, incidentals and vehicles. Figuring everything in I would say it costs us about $3000 or more to participate in this race. One of the reasons we chose the Spokane to Sandpoint race is that it is not a strictly for profit group. A portion of their proceeds help support other ventures such as The Partnership for Transformation which is a non-profit organization that helps provide educational, economic, and spiritual aid to rural communities in Africa. PFT has brought communities like Nyango clean drinking water by providing the funds and labor to drill a well. In addition to PFT, the Spokane to Sandpoint relay race also donates a portion of the proceeds to a bicycle safety course to educate riders of all ages. If you have any other questions that we can answer please feel free to post on our blog or if you have questions about the race you can visit the sponsor website at http://www.spokanetosandpoint.com/. Thanks again for all your supports, we truly could not make this happen without you.
