Erace Cancer Cycling Team announces “kit drive” fundraising initiative in support of Camp Oochigeas

Ontario-based Erace Cancer Cycling Team have decided to support Camp Oochigeas once again, and in keeping with that, they’ve announced a four-day “Erace Kit Drive,” closing March 3, in support of the children’s camp and its activities.

The team has also announced some high-profile ambassadors in support of such a worthy cause.

In 2016, mountain bike specialist and Team Ridebiker-Liv rider Mikaela Kofman will be one of those ambassadors, joining U23 American national cyclocross champion Ellen Noble. In their capacity, they’ll represent the charity itself, helping to raise funds for Camp Ooch and cancer-fighting programs throughout a 2016 competitive season that takes them around the world.

“It’s finally here!” Kofman wrote, reached in Salt Lake City, Utah. “In pursuit of creating a global cycling network [Ellen Noble] and I will be representing team Erance Cancer under the #ridebiker team banner. You can be a part of the Erace team and #ridebiker network and help raise awareness for Camp Oochigeas and fighting cancer now.”

Kofman went further into the specifics, describing Erace Cancer’s kit drive. In short, it involves buying the Erace Cancer Cycling Team kit before March 3, with a portion of the proceeds going towards supporting the efforts of Camp Oochigeas and kids afflicted with cancer. Furthering this initiative is Erace Cancer’s recent partnering with Ride Biker Alliance, a group of 4,000 riders, to spread the word about Erace Cancer, Camp Oochigeas and the fundraising opportunities involved. In the last four years, that fundraising, always in support of Camp “Ooch,” has raised $250,000.
