Donate to the KC Memorial Fund
The Kansas City Memorial Fund is created to honor the memory of the 22 bicyclists who have died on Kansas City streets in the past 5 years--to turn their deaths into a meaningful program to improve safety on roads in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
All donations are tax deductable and are handled by the Missouri Bicycle Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation.
Several metro are bicycling groups are working closely together to plan a public campaign that will
- Bring a huge amount of public attention to the issue of traffic safety in a dramatic, attention-getting, vivid, memorable, yet appropriate way.
- Educate motorists and bicyclists about safer operation
If we can raise only $2000 (100 individuals donating $20 each) we can use "guerrilla marketing" ideas proven to work in other cities, together with our network of media contacts and citizen activists to create a public relations campaign having 10 or 100 times the impact $2000 usually does.
We have already raised $320 towards our goal of $2000.
Every penny of the funds donated below will go towards design, printing, or other direct costs of this campaign--not one cent will go to overhead or administration.
Notes: We need individuals to help us distribute literature and participate in other ways. If interested email director@mobikefed.org
MoBikeFed is piloting this program in Kansas City. If successful, we plan to roll out the program in other parts of the state, in cooperation with bicycle clubs and organizations in those areas. Some of the materials and all of the ideas can be recycled to keep down costs as we take the program to other parts of the state.
