San Diego, CA (MarketWire) November 10, 2009 –BikeBandit.com, the largest online source for motorcycle parts and accessories, helped set a fundraising record at the fifth annual Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Ride for Kids® last month in San Diego. BikeBandit.com was named the top fundraiser in the motorcycle business category; the event raised an overall new record of $64,493.

The national Ride for Kids® program and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF) promote childhood brain tumor research and provide family support through free literature, online conferences and college scholarships. The San Diego Ride for Kids® featured a scenic ride along the southern California coastline near Cardiff. 255 participants took part including the local “stars” of the day, eight brain tumor patients and survivors who rode along with family members or volunteers.

This is the second year in a row that BikeBandit.com has supported the Ride for Kids initiative with $1 from the sale of select motorcycle accessories and apparel from BikeBandit.com donated to PBTF.

“The PBTF Ride for Kids unites the industry that we love with a very worthy cause,” said Ken Wahlster, CEO of BikeBandit.com. “We are proud to once again contribute this year, and look forward to fundraising an even larger amount for next year.”

Planning has already begun on next year’s San Diego Ride for Kids®, taking place on Oct. 17, 2010. BikeBandit.com hopes that the donations they receive in the next year will again set a new fundraising record. To help them make the biggest donation yet in 2010, shop these great products on BikeBandit.com. $1 from the sale of each product will go to support the PBTF Ride for Kids.
