First off, I would like to express my gratitude for you taking the time to look over this letter for you to help us raise the awareness of Autism in our Nations children. We are the parents of Anthony Seagraves, who has been diagnosed with Autism and want to do our part to raise the awareness of Autism in our community, but also on a wider scale. We have partnered up with www.autismspeaks.org to allow this to happen. Below you will see the general outline of what we are building and our plans for the promotion of awareness for this great cause.
We hope after reading this, that you would do your part in helping us not only raise money for www.autismspeaks.org, but donate anything you can to help us get this bike on the road, to the events and be able to generate awareness of your business by putting your logo on our bike.
Here is what we are proposing. You see we are avid Nascar and Moto GP fans and recently noticed the Autism Speaks on the car driven by Jamie McMurray #26 Rousch/Fenway NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. This car inspired us to do something since our son Anthony has Autism.

The thought behind this was that we would like to build a Moto GP motorcycle that can raise the awareness about Autism and showcase it at a few events that attracted national as well as local attention. We are using a 2004 Honda 1000RR for this project designed and built by myself and a team from Riff Raff Custom Choppers in Livermore, Ca. We have built a variety of Custom Choppers (see www.riffraffcustoms.com) that have won numerous awards at shows, and seen in several magazines around the country. I myself have also worked on Moto GP motorcycles that can be seen at several Moto GP racing events as well as doing custom paint work on my personal and client's street bikes.
So we felt this was an easy idea for us to complete and raise awareness for Autism at the same time.
We are unveiling this motorcycle at Moto GP race in Monterey, California on July 18-20, 2008, which is televised worldwide on the Speed Network. We will also be taking this motorcycle to various other indoor and outdoor shows/event to raise awareness as well.
A close friend of mine is a photographer for the Moto GP race and will be attending the press release in June 2008, to help raise the awareness of the Autism project and information about the unveiling at the race in July. It is already pre approved to be in Road Racer X magazine.
What we are looking for is, companies that want to get involved to help get the word out about Autism and raise the awareness of these unique children.
We are asking for companies to help supply us with materials in order for us to get the bike built and to the race. We are not asking for any monetary support, however, if you would like to make a monetary donation, we will be forwarding all proceeds to www.autismspeaks.org in your companies name.
Please help us in raising awareness for this great cause, speaking from experience with our son Anthony being an Autistic child, these kids can do great things and are very unique. Autism affects not only the children, but the families that raise the children. The more the community and world knows about Autism, the better understanding we all will have. |
