ERIC BOSTROM HELPS KICK OFF ’06 R2SL EVENT AT DENVER INTERNATIONAL MOTORCYCLE SHOW Denver November 28, 2005 – Flying out to Denver on his birthday to promote the 2006 Racing 2 Save Lives event, AMA Superbike pilot Eric Bostrom once again showed why he is a favorite among race fans and kids. With his ever-present smile and gracious demeanor, he greeted the crowd that had been waiting for his arrival. “Partnering up with a great guy like Eric has been a shot in the arm for us to be able to go top the next level; building a national presence” said Sharon Foxworthy, President of R2SL. “It also gives Eric a chance to do what he’s always wanted to do, but because of his busy schedule, hasn’t had the time to organize it.” Bostrom signed autographs, took pictures with fans of all ages, and promoted Racing 2 Save Lives. Thanks to Eric’s dedication, proceeds raised through his autographing efforts totaled around $1500. The booth at the International Motorcycle Show in Denver served as the kick off for the organization’s next Children’s Charity Fundraising event, which will take place April 13-16th, 2006 at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah about thirty miles southwest of Salt Lake City. The event works like a high speed walk-a-thon on motorcycles, with participants collecting pledges or donating a fixed amount for sessions on the racetrack and a silent auction. “Miller Motorsports Park really came through for us”, stated Stan Foxworthy executive director for R2SL, “Freddie Spencer was kind enough to let them know of our predicament when PPIR was sold and subsequently destroyed, leaving us without a track to hold our annual event. When we found out that Larry Miller is quite philanthropic with children’s charities in Utah, it looked like the perfect fit for both organizations.” R2SL was created as a philanthropic opportunity for riders and racers to give back to the community through the combination of pledge fundraising, corporate donations and track riding sessions, R2SL has raised over $200,000 in donations for five well-deserving Children’s Charities: Make A Wish® Foundation of Colorado, The Children’s Hospital, Missing Children Task Force, Family Pathways of Colorado, and Here’s Life Inner-City Denver. R2SL is anticipating more exciting news in the upcoming weeks. To find out more, check out www.racing2savelives.org
