 (Calabasas Hills, CA) Helmet House and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation are pleased to announce that Helmet House’s Tour Master luggage line will be a national sponsor of the PBTF’s Ride for Kids® series of charity rides for 2010.

“We are extremely pleased and honored to have our Tour Master motorcycle luggage line sponsoring motorcycling’s  premier charity in the Ride for Kids®,” said Helmet House Co-Founder and Vice President Phil Bellomy. “I know I speak for all of Helmet House in that we consider the Ride for Kids® an important national program for the powersports industry and we’ve embraced their mission of using motorcycling and the great people who ride to support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.” Bellomy added.   Tour Master’s luggage sponsorship has them join a distinguished list of national sponsors from the motorcycle industry and will include the use of Tour Master luggage as fund raiser prizes at each of the 40 charity rides scheduled around the United States for 2010.

“The Ride for Kids® is excited to add a vital national brand to our sponsor roster in Tour Master luggage.  We greatly appreciate Helmet House’s efforts in supporting our charity rides over the past several years and in committing to this new level of participation.   The Ride for Kids program has helped raise in excess of $XX million dollars to support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s efforts in research, treatment and support of families impacted by brain tumors in children”,  said the Ride for Kids’ program’s National Director Kyle Clack.

The support of the Rider for Kids  has helped make the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation the largest nonprofit source of funding for pediatric brain tumor research outside of the U.S. government. In addition to research grants to medical laboratories, PBTF funds also started the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the U.S., a national database of disease and patient information.

Thanks to the efforts of Ride for Kids®, progress is being made in the search for the answer to this terrible affliction. Each year laboratories worldwide take steps toward new and more innovative treatments for young patients. However, until the cause is isolated the prognosis of these children will continue to cast doubt on their recovery, and for those who survive, their resulting quality of life.  Please click to http://www.pbtfus.org/rideforkids/ for more information on the Ride for Kids® program and the  as well as the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
