Seattle, WA (July 29, 2019) – MiiR, an award-winning Product to Project™ company and certified B Corp, proudly announces its support of 7x world champion Rebecca Rusch’s signature event, Rebecca’s Private Idaho (RPI) 2019 as presenting sponsor. Considered one of the top five gravel events in the world by Global Cycling Network, RPI will take place in Sun Valley, Idaho over Labor Day weekend with over 1,100 riders.
World champion, adventure athlete, author and activist Rebecca Rusch founded RPI in 2013. Its fundraising efforts support Be Good™ Foundation, dedicated to building vibrant, healthy communities by using the bicycle as a catalyst for healing, empowerment and evolution. The MiiR x RPI partnership will benefit Be Good™ Foundation and their cycling related beneficiaries: World Bicycle Relief, People for Bikes, Idaho Interscholastic Cycling League and Wood River Trail Coalition.
MiiR is granting $10,000 to Be Good™ Foundation with an additional matching funds challenge: for RPI participants who make donations to Be Good Foundation, MiiR will match those donations up to $5,000, for a total donation of $15,000. Over the course of the weekend’s events, MiiR will provide custom RPI drinkware for riders, staff and VIP events, as well as serve coffee and sell custom Idaho inspired drinkware at its booth in celebration of the beauty of Sun Valley and the state of Idaho.
“I’m thrilled to bring MiiR on board, and eager to see the results of our partnership,” says Rebecca. “Their mission and founder’s story dovetails beautifully with the goals and spirit of RPI and Be Good™, and together we can generate positive change beyond what any one of us could do alone.”
“For six years, Rebecca’s Private Idaho has generously supported World Bicycle Relief’s work by providing bicycles to women and girls in need,” said Dave Neiswander, CEO of World Bicycle Relief. “We look forward to the 2019 event, and the years to come, to do more good with Rebecca and the Be Good™ Foundation.”
