OmniMount Sponsors Bjorn's Bike Team in 2008 Velero Bike to the Beach Ride
OmniMount, the global leader in consumer and commercial A/V mounting and furniture solutions, has joined forces with Bjorn’s…Just Bjorn’s, one of the manufacturer’s San Antonio, Texas retail partners, to support the company’s participation in the 2008 Bike MS: Valero Bike to the Beach Ride to benefit multiple sclerosis (MS).
Spearheaded by Bjorn’s inventory control manager Art Suarez, 2008 will be the specialty audio and video retailer’s third year as an official team participant in the event. The team shares respective connections to the disease, inspiring the retailer’s team support and drive to find a cure. Bjorn Dybdahl expressed his sentiments, “We are extremely proud of Art Suarez for putting the team together – he’s done an amazing job and the team is raising lots of money to support a great cause. In addition, we owe a big thanks to OmniMount for their participation as a sponsor; they’ve been terrific!”
The Bjorn’s…Just Bjorn’s team now welcomes 30 company participants, a significant growth from its original four member team, to the two-day bicycle challenge. Thanks to the generous support and sponsorship from OmniMount, with donation of product, and Bicycle Heaven, a local San Antonio bike shop, the team will embark on the ride on Saturday, October 4 in hopes of achieving its goal to raise more than $10,000 for the cause.
The 19th Annual Valero Bike to the Beach will welcome an anticipated 3,500 cyclists October 4 – 5, 2008 to ride toward a cure for multiple sclerosis. The two-day, 160-mile ride from San Antonio to Corpus Christi, is on pace to raise $1.7 million to support research to end MS and fund programs through the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Lone Star Chapter.
In 2007, the Valero Bike to the Beach raised $1.6 to fund research and programs for the estimated 20,000 individuals and their families affected by MS in 174 Texas counties served by the Lone Star Chapter.
