raising funds to help diversify our industry
Contributions matter and you could win a prize!
We have reached out to many long time partners and friends of the PBMA to provide items to offer in a prize drawing, with that every person who has or will be contributing at the $75 or $100 level will be entered into the top prizes drawings, everyone contributing at the $50 or $25 level will be entered into the 2nd tier prize drawings and anyone making any donation at any level is entered into the 3rd tier prize drawing. The list of available prizes ($8,750 and growing), who they are from and entry details can be found a bit lower on this page. As prized are confirmed this page will be updated, check back frequently!

***update*** August 13th
Hello, we have received the knives made by Zane and most of the prizes for the drawings. At this time we are still accepting contributions and those who have contributed that have won something will be notified by email soon. We had originally set a goal for doing all of this by July, however as contributions continued to come for the prize drawing and we hadn't yet received the knives we keep things open. That said all items are in Texas at the PBMA office and James will soon begin the task of packing and shipping all things along with any prizes won by individuals. Keep in mind, this happens in "spare" time and the bicycle business in Texas hasn't slowed down one bit. The things you need to know - if you contributed at a level to receive something, it will be coming soon, if you've won something it will be included in the package!
Thanks!

How did this get started?
PBMA Member and Professional Bicycle Mechanic Zane is normally jet-setting the world as the team mechanic for Rally Cycling. At the onset of COVID-19, Zane eventually found himself at home in Utah and began making knives. Zane came to us with an idea: make a knife from an old file. He also wanted to raise money for a cause. After some discussion, the PBMA and Zane agreed... Zane is volunteering his time and skill to convert old files into a useful treasure. Due to the expected return to racing and the time it takes to craft each knife we are limited to 50 knives available. You can read more about Zane by clicking here.

WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING?
100% of the proceeds minus expenses (processing fees, material and shipping costs) will go towards sending at least one BIPOC to a UBI training of their choice. Timing and schedule are TBD. The PBMA will also host the award winner(s) at any events we produce (PBMA Technical Workshops at CABDA, Race Mechanics Licensing Clinic or more) in 2021. **as of Wednesday July 8th, we have raised enough that we are able to fully fund at least three people, we are still going and hope to increase that value dramatically in the next couple weeks! Once this grant is funded we will open the application process. Organizations wishing to contribute should contact us directly to discuss how to best partner and appropriate funds. The PBMA is a 501(c)6 Non-Profit Membership Organization who's tax records are available to the public via the IRS website. Funds used here will appear on line 14 "Benefits paid to or for Members" on our FY 2020 tax filing. |
