The ATVPG is pleased to announce the success of
this year's 88 Live to Ride Benefit Auction, held
at the final round of racing at Loretta Lynn's

go towards medical supplies and other equipment
for riders who have been injured at the races.
Some of the evening's largest purchases included
a Can-Am DS450 ATV - donated by the Motoworks/Can-Am
team as well as the 2011 AMA ATV Motocross Championship
podium backdrop, going for a combined $16,000.
John Natalie's second moto jersey brought in $1,000
and the Media AllStars RC Truck topped out at
$650.
"I'd like to thank everyone for their support
of 88 Live to Ride's auction held at Loretta Lynn's
this year. I am still overwhelmed at the amount
of money, close to $25,000, that was raised in
such a short time," said Debi Bartosek, President
of 88 Live to Ride.

"The auction itself couldn't have happened
without all the wonderful donations we received;
the volunteers that helped set up and kept things
running smoothly; Rodney Tomblin's excellent job
of auctioneering and all the people who opened
their wallets and their hearts to support our
mission. It's hard to express the amount of gratitude
that I have for everyone who was a part of this
year's benefit auction," Bartosek added.
