Fundraising...

We are slowly getting our act together to get some things going to help raise money to benefit messengers in the Chicago community. As some of you know, Chrome Bags provided us and other cities with poker cards to help out on the fundraising front. We still have quite a few left over so don't miss your chance to help out.



CHROME Aces is a benefit project supporting local Bicycle Messenger Associations from four cities: SF, NYC, Portland and Chicago. Funds raised provide assistance to messengers who are injured on the job. Pick up a deck and support a fallen messenger. And please watch out for bikers! All proceeds go directly back to the courier community via local Bicycle Messenger Associations as well as the international Bicycle Messenger Emergency Fund. Key Players that aided in the success of Chrome Aces: Squid/NY, Billy/SF, Augie/Chicago, and Casy/Portland. Photographers that made it happen: NY ­ Amy Bolger, SF ­ Beryl Fine, Chicago ­ Christopher Dilts, Portland ­ Hazel Gross. Many thanks to everyone who participated and supported this project.

You can purchase the cards at Upgrade Cycle Works and/or Yojimbo's Garage. Keep your eyes peeled and your ear to the ground. We're going to have some more interesting fundraising ideas and events in the near future. Thank you for any and all support.
