From a press release issued by Shawn McDonald:

2002 Season Kick Off Party for Washington Road Racing & Alan Schwen Fund Raising April 7, 2002

WMRRA needs your help in starting off the 2002 Road Racing Season with a big bang.

The WMRRA sponsored and sanctioned event is being presented by SB Motorsports and Paragon Restaurant for the specific purpose of raising funds for the 2002 WMRRA #1 Overall Champion Alan Schwen. Alan was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Hodgkin’s Lymphoma after he had secured his first WMRRA Overall Championship after 17 years of road racing. The prognosis for Alan looks very good with early detection and treatments of chemotherapy and radiation. The very high deductibles on the medical insurance though are hard to pay. He is our brother in many ways and needs your help. Roadracers, spectators and streetbike riders who attend the party will be charged $20 per person with all proceeds going to the Schwen Cancer Fund. Coming to the party gets you a free buffet prepared by Chef/Owner Christopher Cunio, beverages, music, bench racing, motorcycle door prizes and a select auction on premier motorcycle items. Visa, Master Card, American Express and cash are accepted.

The WMRRA 2002 Season Kick Off Party will be on April 7 from 2 P.M till 6 P.M. at the Paragon Restaurant, 2125 Queen Anne Ave, Seattle, WA.
