Support KC Memorial Campaign for a Safer Kansas City

MoBikeFed's "Kansas City Memorial Fund" is created to honor the memory of the 22 bicyclists who have died on Kansas City streets in the past 5 years--to turn their deaths into a meaningful program to improve safety on roads in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

Donate towards the KC Memorial Campaign: $

If you prefer you can send a check to Kansas City Memorial Fund Missouri Bicycle Federation Post Office Box 104871 Jefferson City, MO 65110-4871 Make checks payable to "Missouri Bicycle Federation". Please clearly indicate "Kansas City Memorial Fund" in the memo area.

Recent bicyclist fatalities and injuries in the Kansas City area have left area bicyclists wanting to take action in memory of our fellow riders and to take strong and persuasive action to improve the safety of the Kansas City area for bicyclists.

The Missouri Bicycle Federation and the Greater Kansas City Bicycle Federation working in close cooperation with a group of area bicycling organizations are planning a public campaign that will

• Bring a huge amount of public attention to the issue of traffic safety in a dramatic, attention-getting, vivid, memorable, yet appropriate way.
  
• Educate motorists and bicyclists about safer operation

But we need your help!

If we can raise only $2000 (100 individuals donating $20 each) we can use "guerrilla marketing" ideas proven to work in other cities, together with our network of media contacts and citizen activists to create a public relations campaign having 10 or 100 times the impact $2000 usually does.

We have already raised $320 towards our goal of $2000.

Every penny of the funds donated below will go towards design, printing, or other direct costs of this campaign--not one cent will go to overhead or administration.

Notes: We need individuals to help us distribute literature and participate in other ways. If interested email director@mobikefed.org

MoBikeFed is piloting this program in Kansas City. If successful, we plan to roll out the program in other parts of the state, in cooperation with bicycle clubs and organizations in those areas. Some of the materials and all of the ideas can be recycled to keep down costs as we take the program to other parts of the state.
