What Can You Do With 30 Bucks?

Nowadays, $30 is like a dollar. Which begs the question, what can you do with 120 quarters? You could: buy lunch with an x-large drink, buy a pitcher of margaritas and chips at your favorite Mexican restaurant, get your kid's haircuts, fill your car halfway with gas, buy tickets for two to the movies and maybe have enough to splurge on Milk Duds and a small popcorn, play one hand of blackjack in Vegas, buy a descent bottle of wine, get your clothes dry cleaned...

...Or buy a t-shirt. But not just any t-shirt, an AfricaBike t-shirt. Made from 100-percent organic cotton and environmentally-friendly dyes, the new men's and women's AfricaBike t-shirt is $30 worth investing. Not only will it add some style to your wardrobe, but all proceeds from the sales of AfricaBike tee's will go directly to the BikeTown program which assists African healthcare workers treat HIV/AIDS patients.

So next time you wonder where your last $30 went, think about the shirt you're wearing and the people in Africa.

Any chance of making a cycling jersey with the Africanikes logo (and Kona branding) on it? I know it wouldn't be $30 but people who need a new jersey could help support your cause...

What a fantastic project. I am a member of the 100% volunteer non-profit organization GambiaHELP. We are based in Seattle, WA and work on health and education programs in The Gambia, West Africa. We have been shipping a container full of supplies, including bicycles, to West Africa for over 10 years. Is there a way to get involved/partner with Kona to get more bikes to Gambia. I'm jazzed about your plan to get the bikes to health care workers, so they can reach those that can't get to the clinic. We also see a need for the children to get to school. Many of them walk over 6 miles to get to the closest school. So inevitably, kids don't make it some days. We have found that entrusting the bikes to the teachers to loan out to the children has worked. Every kid will get a chance to ride to school part of the time. I am thoroughly impressed with your organization and your idea. Thanks for taking my message, I hope to hear from Kona Africabike. Sandy Murray
