Sponsor the Rock 'n' Ride
Want to help with the costs of Rock 'n' Ride, Volume II?
Buy a 2 feet x 3 feet shape with the name of your business on it! They will be suspended from the guy-lines of the stage. This is also a perfect idea for those who would like to support the Rock 'n' Ride in memory of a loved one. You pick the shape (music note, guitar, bicycle, AIDS ribbon), and the text, which will be displayed in 4 inch tall vinyl letters.
$30 each
$100 for four
$200 for four custom (you pick any shape)
$500 for a custom banner with your company's logo

Do you love music? Art? Are you a bike nut? What if you could combat the global HIV/AIDS crisis, save lives on the other side of the world, and attend a rock concert at the same time? Sound appealing?
The St. Andrews Rock ‘n’ Ride Music Festival, Volume II, is for you!
On June 4th, 2011, bands from around the Maritimes are taking the stage in St. Andrews, NB, for a second time to fundraise for Dignitas International HIV/AIDS clinics in Malawi.
Rock ‘n’ Ride, which takes place in St. Andrews’ Town Square from 12PM to 8PM, incorporates eight straight hours of music, an art show and silent auction at Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Centre, a CD release party, food and culinary arts, fitness, global education, and fundraising, all into one event.
During the eight hours of music, teams of up to ten riders on stationary bikes keep their pedals in perpetual motion in exchange for pledges. Last year’s incarnation of the Rock ‘n’ Ride raised almost $12 000, and our goal this year is to raise $20 000, with your help!
Gather your team, come up with an awesome name, and register online!
You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter (@SJDARocknRide), and MySpace.

The Event
Rock ‘n’ Ride – For Malawi
As you are reading this, there are over 13.2 million people in Malawi, and only 94 qualified doctors. That’s like having five in the whole of New Brunswick. To make matters worse, 900 000 people in Malawi are HIV positive. Rock ‘n’ Ride is a music festival and stationary bike marathon being held on June 5th, 2010, from 12PM to 8PM in support of Dignitas International’s HIV/AIDS clinics and prevention centres in the Zomba District of Malawi. Dignitas is a non-profit medical organization that establishes hospitals and teaches local staff in the medical profession, so when Western doctors leave the country, those care units can continue operating. The organization was established by two former members of Doctors without Borders, Dr. Orbinski, and Dr. Fraser.
At Rock ‘n’ Ride, there will be live music, entertainment, guest speakers, food, an art auction, and much more. The stationary bike marathon will be accomplished by teams of five to ten members. Find your team, sign up, bring your bikes, bring your team, and bring your spirit. Come rock ‘n’ ride in St. Andrews!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at sjda.racefordignity@gmail.com, or join our Facebook page. We would love to hear from you!
