Event: World AIDS Day bike collection drive
When: Saturday, November 29 to Tuesday, December 2, 2008
Where: Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC)
Description:
Your old bike will help save lives affected by HIV/AIDS Come to Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) on World AIDS day and donate your old bike to help save lives in Africa. Your old bike will turn into a lifesaving tool in the hands of healthcare workers in Malawi, allowing them to reach patients and communities more quickly and efficiently (most of these workers walk from village to village now). This event is actually a 2-day event: for people who can't make it to World AIDS Day on Dec. 1 (a Monday) we'll be at MEC on Saturday Nov. 29 as well. The times/dates: Nov. 29: 9 am to 6 pm Dec. 1: 10 am to 7 pm Please note: we are asking for a $10 donation with each bike to help offset the cost of shipping. Bikes Without Borders is committed to strict accountability to the communities where we operate and designs all programs with measurability and sustainability in mind. Volunteers are needed on both days, especially mechanics and people with trucks/vans! Please pass the word on to all your friends and invite them to the Facebook event. We'll have DJs and lots of other fun stuff all day. Our goal is to collect 500 bikes, so spread the word around, please!!!
