Rabobank podium caps
Maybe a Dutch reader will be able to answer this. Why do the Rabobank
podium caps say "Keep Supporting Asia"? Tsunami relief? Andrew |

Yes, on several levels: moral support, incentive to donate money to Dutch giro-account 555, and also the caps are for sale (no idea where, though). It was initiated by the cycling team, and is picked up by the bank. http://www.erikdekker.nl/keep_supporting_asia.htm says: "The team itself actively supports the fund raising by converting all of their spring kilometers, counting from Milan-San Remo, into a monetary donation. The results will be deposited in the Rabobank Employee Fund. The bank will double the money." No word on the conversion factor (for example 1 euro per km?). The page continues: "The riders will also develop more ideas to increase the proceeds. Think for example, auctions of special and/or signed jerseys." -- Firefox Web Browser - Rediscover the web - http://getffox.com/ Thunderbird E-mail and Newsgroups - http://gettbird.com/ |
