Help support their season long endeavor to raise money for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
Right now we are all missing racing, in any form. This upcoming weekend was to be the championship race in Salt Lake City. With the races cancelled and postponed we all await to hear from Feld Motorsports and Supercross when we get the see the gates drop again in 2020.
But in the meantime, we as the Supercross community can do some good. Let us all once again raise some money for St. Judes Children Research Hospital.
During round 7 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, season at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on February 15, it was the aptly named This Race Saves Lives as the event was dedicated to the children of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and kicked off an online auction that was set to run through the season finale in Salt Lake City, originally scheduled for this weekend.
Supercross teams and athletes supported the cause by donning special St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital logos and patient-inspired artwork on their race bikes and gear, all of which was donated to the online auction where proceeds go directly to the St. Jude mission: Finding cures. Saving children®. To families dealing with COVID-19 nothing is more pressing, but the same can be said for families facing childhood cancer. The Supercross community is doing everything possible to help support the health and wellness of the community while keeping its commitment to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.® During these uncertain times, one thing will not change: Families will never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all families should worry about is helping their child live.
The Supercross This Race Saves Lives St. Jude online auction contains race-worn gear from Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, Justin Barcia, Jason Anderson, Dean Wilson, Broc Tickle, Adam Cianciarulo and Chase Sexton, plus custom bike plastics from Blake Baggett, Aaron Plessinger, Zach Osborne, Jeremy Martin, Garrett Marchbanks and others.
Bigger ticket items available throughout the weekend include a custom-built Ricky Carmichael Suzuki Boulevard M109R B.O.S.S., a Ryan Dungey 2016 Official Championship Replica ring, a Penrite Honda CRF50 race team replica bike, plus an Alpinestars All Star custom gear set and a one-of-a-kind StaCyc 12 E Drive bike sporting custom “Believe” patient-inspired artwork.
