Project RIDE announces 3nd Round of
Tobacco-free Sponsorship for Import car teams!

Import car teams with big hearts and passion for import scenes who are ready to show their ownership for the import car culture against tobacco industries can apply for RIDE sponsorship.

Import scenes should be all about a love for cars and not a profile for profits. The tobacco industry has been marketing heavily toward young Asians and other import car enthusiasts. You and your car team members can make a big difference!

RIDE will sponsor import car teams for up to $1000 depend on the size of teams. Please see the below for eligibility and requirements. RIDE will have a mandatory meeting, Saturday, November 12. Those interested must RSVP with Tiffany Chin.

If you are interested, please contact Tiffany Chin, Program Coordinator of RIDE at tchin@bacr.org or Stella Jun, Project Director at sjun@bacr.org for more details.
