Benefit Ride for Jacob Vitek (Fez's brother)

I'm sure many of you remember Allen Chavez (aka Fez) from his time riding with the club when he was in college in Eau Claire.  His brother was diagnosed with cancer and Allen is putting together a benefit ride in St. Paul on July 12th. 

This is the Link to the thread on MNSBR with all of the information you'll need.  I'd really like to see a group from the CVSC go to this and show our support for Allen and his family. 

Even if you can't attend, you can contribute to Jacob's benefit fund at Vermillion Bank in Inver Grove Heights. The name on the account is the "Bubba Gump Foundation". The last four digits of the account are ****0343.  The bank's phone # is (651) 455-9596.

You can also check out Jacob's story at Jacob's Story.

As the date of the ride approaches, I'll post up some information regarding a meeting place/departure time for those of you interested in attending the event.

Re: Benefit Ride for Jacob Vitek (Fez's brother)

I think I would like to go. I'm just going to go ahead and plan on it. If Jacob is anything like his brother Allen, then I would be honored to be his friend too. Also, glad to hear he is in remission. Nice work Jacob.

Re: Benefit Ride for Jacob Vitek (Fez's brother)

I'm thinking a donation from the Club is in order.  Perhaps we could collect any personal donations, combine them with a gift from the club, and present Allen and Jacob a big, fat check to show them both the type of person the CVSC attracts.

Maybe talk to cycle-friendly employers, friends, co-workers and see if they would be interested in donating.  Hell, this isn't about cycles at all so ask everyone you know.

Re: Benefit Ride for Jacob Vitek (Fez's brother)

I lifted the following info. from a PM Allen sent me regarding his brother's benefit ride.

It will be on July 12th. Meeting at the Hitching Post in South St. Paul at 9:00-10:30am. They will be preparing breakfast for everyone. We would go on the ride from 10:30 til about 1:30pm. Head back to my parents (Allen's parents) house in IGH (Inver Grove Heights) for Hot dogs, burgers, and beer. The Hitching Post will be giving away some items as well. Also the route is called the "ice cream run" I have heard. Thanks again for the help. Talk to you soon.

Again, I'm leaning toward slabbing it over there in an effort to arrive on time.  I'm thinking we'd meet at the regular meeting spot at 7:30 a.m. and leave at 8.  It looks like it would be around an hour and 15 minutes over there.  We would take a more entertaining route back if that's what the group wants.

It looks like it would be a 200 mile round trip without the actual "benefit ride" so wear your stretchy pants.  We'll skip the beer, of course, but will definitely partake of the meat.

More to come as the date draws nigh.

Re: Benefit Ride for Jacob Vitek (Fez's brother)

Yup.

Hey, if anyone's willing to post these up around town, let me know and I'll ask my super-cool boss if I can print some out.

Is anyone collecting dough? I'd like to contribute. Hopefully, it will clear my karma after I pounced on Fez's chest while he was sleeping off his wounds received in Menomonie that one night. You remember brother....that night you found him UNDER the big guy on the sidewalk? big_smile

Re: Benefit Ride for Jacob Vitek (Fez's brother)

To answer Mx's question regarding collection of money, I guess we could handle it a couple of ways. 

First, you could stop by any RCU and deposit into the club's account.  Have them make a note on the deposit marking it "benefit" or "Jacob Vitek" or something similar.  We don't make frequent deposits so it won't be hard to determine where the new funds should go.

Second, you could give Turd or I the money, preferably a check, and we'll deposit it for you.

Third, you could attend the ride and present a check from yourself to Jacob's fund.

As long as you give, it doesn't matter to me which method you choose.

Please add suggestions if you think of a different/better way to handle this.

Re: Benefit Ride for Jacob Vitek (Fez's brother)

I'll just bring them a check. I wasn't sure if you had decided on a "from the club" thing. It's just as well, I don't think any of us wants to cart one of those giant checks up to the Cities. smile

I'd like to do a "from the club" thing, but as long as the money gets to Jacob, it really doesn't matter.

Re: Benefit Ride for Jacob Vitek (Fez's brother)

I would like to donate to a "from the club" fund. It would be nice to hand them one check from us. I don't think we need to pat our indevidual selves on the back here.

I guess the account is officially under the name of C.V. Sportbike Club.  Just thought I'd share this to avoid any confusion.
