One of the best parts of our annual BikeFest Kickoff Fundraiser Party is that people always go home with some great prizes and gear that we’ve secured for y’all. We’ve been spending the day sorting through all of the prizes and schwag and thought that all of you readers would love to see a preview.
Here is just a sampling of some of the top prizes that you could be leaving with!
The Raffle
(called at 10:30 – must be present to win)
One of the grand prizes is a Bianchi Pista, provided by Pro Bikes in Squirrel Hill. If needed, whoever wins this can bring it to Pro Bikes to exchange it for the correct size. The classic, timeless, and popular track bike.
The other Grand prize is a Cannondale Quick 4 (MSRP $659). This makes for a great urban bike and can be exchanged for any size.
Some other things that you can take home from the raffle:

The silent auction will be a simple sheet where you put your name, contact info and bid for the product. All money goes to benefit BikePGH. The top bidder will be called afterwards to arrange the exchange. If you’re the top bidder, and you’re still there at the end of the party, we’d be happy to square up with you then as well.
