Ken Roczen and the Pipes Motorsports Group hosted the second annual Kickstart for a Cause national sweepstakes and raised a record-setting $200,000 through a season-long campaign where one lucky winner is gifted Ken’s race bike. Ken personally called the winner this morning and surprised him with the news. Although Ken will not be competing at the final round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship taking place today at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, a check will be presented to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on his behalf. An avid St. Jude supporter, Roczen has also donated several key items to the Supercross Love Moto Stop Cancer auction. “We would like to thank everyone for their efforts in helping to raise this grand sum. Every bit helps make a difference and it truly is amazing what a difference this is going to make in the lives of the kids and their families. After becoming parents, you feel this in a different light and it’s something that no family should have to go through. We are thankful for groups like St. Jude who are making such an incredible difference.” – Courtney and Ken Roczen.
Ken Roczen’s Kickstart For A Cause National Sweepstakes raised $200,000 via a season-long initiative that benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The annual Supercross Love Moto Stop Cancer St. Jude auction is open through the final round in Salt Lake City, closing at 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Monday, May 12. This year’s auction contains over 250 unique items generously donated by the sport’s top athletes, teams, and industry partners. The auction includes autographed bike plastics, goggles, gloves, and race-worn gear sets custom designed using St. Jude patient-inspired artwork for the Love Moto Stop Cancer race that took place at Round 9 in Indianapolis, Indiana earlier in the season.
Fans can also continue to give by becoming a partner in hope via the season-long Supercross Love Moto Stop Cancer text-to-donate campaign. Supporters can text SUPER to 785-833 and receive one of the unique Love Moto Stop Cancer SMX t-shirts as a gift for their support.
Because of fundraising through partnerships like this, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food – so they can focus on helping their child live. Supercross is the only entity outside of Country music to use their own community-wide slogan – Love Moto Stop Cancer. Moto is short for Motocross which embellishes both disciplines of Motocross and Supercross. Donors who pledge $19 or more per month receive an exclusive Love Moto Stop Cancer T-shirt, routinely worn by all the sport’s top athletes.
