MXdN: Support our Brits
By Team TMX on 4th Jun 14
Motocross fans can show their support for Team GB at this years MXdN through a social-funding initiative set up by the ACU in conjunction with the So Fund website.
The idea is a simple one. Fans pledge money to the team and in return receive gifts that reflect the level of their contribution. For example, £10 will buy a set of Team GB dog tags while £500 will get a signed team rider's helmet.
There are also opportunities for fans to have their names featured on the official team t-shirt or their pictures included in a collage on the team helmets.
"The ACU will still be fully supporting the team, both financially and logistically,” explains ACU Motocross Committee Chairman Brian Higgins, "but we are happy to work with So Fund to get the British fans involved and to enhance the team's approach to this massive event. The crowd-funding approach gives us a unique platform to connect with the hugely loyal fanbase that the Motocross of Nations attracts.
"All proceeds will go to improving the facilities for Team GB at the Motocross of Nations as well as the wider motocross community.”
This year's event takes place at Kegums in Latvia on September 28. For more details go to www.sofund.co.uk/campaigns/mxon
