Ruth Winder - Track World’s support!
Ruth Winder World’s fundraiser - August 5th, Sports Basement
The Winder family has a sizeable crew of youngsters to support - each of them incredibly gifted in their own unique and interesting pursuits and talents (personally, I think Fiona will be a rockstar one day, and Frederick a darkly comic writer).
The Winders have been ever-present in dirt, road, and track cycling - the entire family is a pleasure to see and cheer for at races. Ruth has been selected for the World Championships this year - but the family has to fund the entirety of the trip to Italy.
Please consider joining with the East Bay community to send them off with a modest bit of help and encouragement at the low-key, but very fun Sports Basement event planned. Cheers for any and all help to this good group of folks.

Please join us at Sports Basement, Walnut Creek on Thursday August 5, 2010 to celebrate Ruth Winder’s journey to the Junior Track World Championships in Montichiari, Italy. 20% of all purchases made during the event will go directly to Ruth, and assist her in financing the trip and USA Cycling costs in order to represent the US (and our wonderful East Bay cycling community).
Additionally, there will be a raffle for two Sports Basement gift-certificates ($1 per ticket) and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Ruth from the raffle. If you can’t make the event and would like to be included in the raffle, please contact me @ for details.

First, thanks for posting this notice.
And thanks to all who came out and contributed. I saw a note on the Track lists that over $1,100 was generated to help send a local kid to the Jr. Worlds. That’s just great.
Good luck Ruth, and I hope you enjoy the trip and learn a lot. Oh, and some shinies to add to your medal or trophy collection wouldn’t hurt, but at least to me the previous two are more important goals.
