CURE THE KIDS...
IT’S MORE THAN A RIDE!

This is the fourth year for the Philadelphia RFK. Thanks to generous people like you, we set all time RideForKids fund raising records 3 years running. In 2005 for a first year event and 2006 for a second year event, and 2007 for a third year event. We need your to help make this year another rousing success as well for a fourth year, so mark the date (Sept 21, 2008), and plan on helping out a ride that is fun and provides funds to give kids with brain tumors & cancer a fighting chance.

As you help with our Ride for Kids® fundraising goals, keep in mind how the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation uses the money you raise: Research grants are given to the nation’s leading research institutions. Through research, new therapies are developed that extend the lives of children and, we hope, will ultimately bring an end to this devastating disease. Our goal is to provide the best research possible and make that research available to help children throughout the world. Family Support services include a full time staff coordinator who assists patient families with questions and concerns; a series of informational Internet conferences with medical and social work professionals; free tumor specific brochures; two quarterly newsletters; and two websites, www.pbtfus.org and www.rideforkids.org.

Scholarships are awarded to brain tumor survivors studying at a technical school, vocational school, junior college, or a four-year college or university. Since 2001, more than 100 students have continued their education with a PBTF scholarship. The Ride for Kids® is more than a ride—it also serves as an educational and support program for brain tumor patients and their families. At the post-ride Celebration of Life, they share their stories with the motorcyclists who give so generously to find a cure for this devastating disease. The money you raise is vital to the survival of these kids, and your efforts really do make a difference in their lives!
