A fellow Polar Bear Grand Tour motorcycle rider, Tony A., is embarking on an epic journey this summer he is calling Artic Adventure; riding over 10,000 to Alaska and back. Tony is riding to raise awareness and money for the South Dakota Coalition Against domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (SDCADVSA). This past Thursday I attended the launch party in downtown Philadelphia. Held at a Mac's Tavern on Market Street the place was hopping both inside and out when I arrived around 5:30pm. I asked Tony if the place was always this busy and he informed this was their opening day! They have a great selection of fine beers on tap.
There was a small cover charge that all went to support SDCADVSA and got you a wrist band for discounted drinks and food and some raffle tickets that you could place in bags that represented door prizes. There were some great door prizes, gym memberships, gift certificates, concert tickets, spa treatments and much more; I was impressed. There was also a 50/50 being sold. Tony was able to raise around $3,000 at the launch but has set a goal to raise a dollar per mile he rides, if you'd like to contribute check out his website.
