Please join us on
January 25th at St. Anthony’s Hall for a Dinner and Silent Auction in support of
the Stevens Racing Program and the Ottawa Velodrome Project. Proceeds from the evening will go towards
helping the Stevens women and U25 men attend BC Super Week and the UCI
sanctioned Delta road Races, as well as the long-term funding of an indoor
velodrome in the National Capital.
You can't win without a little community support
One of the
evening’s center-points will be a silent auction featuring items donated by
some of Canada’s top cyclists. The racers
have reached out to support up and coming riders through this initiative.
Unique items include a signed World Champions jersey from Catharine Pendrel and
an Olympic skinsuit worn in the time trial at the London Olympics by Denise
Ramsden. Not all items are cycling kit
however- for example, massage treatments from Re:Form Body Clinic are some of
the other items up for grabs.
There will also
be a “Domestique For A Day” sale in which dinner- goers can bid on a ride with their
favorite Stevens rider. The winners will
have a team rider at their disposal to do the ride of their choice with. This past summer’s Champlain’s Folly Ride was
exceptionally hot- what better way to beat the heat than having a Steven Rider
carry all of your extra bottles!
Stevens presented
by The Cyclery aims to be a stepping stone for future cycling talent that helps
fill the gap between junior and international racing. Without organizations like Stevens Racing,
young Canadian cyclists have limited opportunities to develop their talents,
learn how to be an elite athlete, and develop the skills they need to turn
professional.
And Stevens
Racing is succeeding: Over the last two seasons the team as graduated a rider
into the professional ranks, placed others onto the national team and earned
Canada Games and Canadian Championships medals.
Tickets are $75
per person or $400 for a table of six.
We look forwards to seeing you for an evening of
cycling celebration!
