MONSTER ENERGY SUPERCROSS HIGHLIGHTS 3RD ANNUAL
MX FOR CHILDREN CHARITY EVENT FOR CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
AURORA, Ill. (March 25, 2008) – The 3rd Annual MX for Children’s Inside Line
Experience charity event will be held in conjunction with the Seattle round of
Monster Energy® AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, April 26 at Seattle’s
Qwest Field.
The Inside Line Experience has raised more than $110,000 in Seattle during its
first two years while running on conjunction with supercross. MX for Children
and Live Nation Motor Sports inc., hope to see funds raised that would equal
that total in 2008. All funds raised during the event will benefit Seattle’s
Children’s Hospital & Regional Medical Center and their research for hydrocephalus,
the leading cause of brain surgery in children.
Top riders from Honda Red Bull Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing Motocross will take
part in a pre-race charity event at Children’s Hospital & Regional Medical
Center on Thursday, April 24, at noon. The top fundraisers will be treated to
the Inside Line Experience, an exclusive meet and greet with the riders, who
will also spend quality time with children at the hospital.
“The Inside Line Experience has been an overwhelming success in its first two
years,” said Paul Gross, MX for Children founder. “Live Nation and the entire
sport of supercross has been very supportive of our cause. We have not only raised
a substantial amount of money for hydrocephalus research, but we’ve raised awareness,
which is invaluable.”
The Inside Line Experience rewards the top 10 individual fundraisers with a Seattle
VIP meet and greet where they are treated to exclusive experiences including
watching a private race practice, touring of a factory rig, walking the supercross
track and getting premium seats.
The entire supercross industry continues to support the event with an abundance
of unique items and signed memorabilia that will be put for giveaway or auction,
including the grand prize Team Makita Suzuki RMZ-250, which the winning ticket
will be drawn on Saturday night at Qwest Field. An additional event will be held
at Renton Motorcycles, where top supercross riders will be on hand signing autographs.
Pledge forms can be picked up and raffle tickets may be purchased at participating
Suzuki dealers or online at the official website http://www.mxforchildren.org.
