Comoto Family of Brands Raises Over $300,000 in First Year Supporting Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's Ride for Kids

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Comoto Family of Brands is thrilled to announce it raised over $300,000 for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF), smashing its $100,000 target. The month's long effort culminated with the inaugural National Ride for Kids Day held on September 12.

For more than 30 years, the PBTF's Ride for Kids has inspired powersports communities across the country to raise funds to help children with brain tumors, which is the leading cause of cancer death in children. This past September, Comoto joined forces with the Foundation, alongside American Honda and 18 other powersports brands* from across the riding community, to host one of the biggest motorcycle charity events in the country, which raised a total of $1.3 Million.

$309,500 was contributed directly from the Comoto community of riders. In addition to the nationwide charity ride, Comoto actively involved each of its brands within the family to help raise funds for PBTF. Of note, Comoto made a direct donation to PBTF of 2.5¢ for every mile logged in the Ride for Kids Challenge in the REVER app between August 12 and September 12. Further, 10% of sales made online and at Cycle Gear, J&P Cycles, and RevZilla stores across the country on National Ride for Kids Day (Sunday, September 12) were donated to PBTF.

"We had an outstanding turnout for the Ride for Kids event this year. With many of us having been stuck at home and socially isolated for so long, it was clear the community was eager to get out and ride for a good cause," shared Ken Murphy, President and CEO of Comoto. "Thanks to the unity of Comoto's Family of Brands, we were able to contribute nearly a quarter of the total funds raised this year for PBTF. I am incredibly proud of our organization and am honored to be working with PBTF to support this cause."
