Screens 'N' Spokes 2008

[SammyV]

Howdy everybody,

We had a great time at our final opening at Chapterhouse on Friday. Everything looks great and prints are being snapped up off the walls.

With the end of our openings, it was time to start loading all these beautiful prints onto our online store. As of last night, we now have nearly every print up on our etsy site and available for purchase. A ton of amazing work was put into making this show a reality, and we hope you'll find something in the 2008 prints that you'll love.

Just a reminder, all of this incredible art was designed and created specifically for the 2008 Screens 'N' Spokes show and as an incredibly generous gift to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. 100% of the proceeds we collect from the show goes directly towards helping create a world free of MS.

Over the weekend we began selling prints by Jay Ryan, Brad Klausen and Mike Munter. We still have a few available, and they can be purchased by e-mailing us at screensnspokes[at]gmail[dot]com.

The rest of the prints can be found and our handy dandy Etsy site:
Etsy :: screensnspokes :: Screens 'N' Spokes

Please tell your biking friends, your art-loving friends, or just anyone you think might be interested in what we are doing.

Thanks so much for the support,
Jess and Sam
Team Screens 'N' Spokes

Well the Bike MS: City to Shore ride was this weekend.

Despite some fog and drizzle, our amazing team road from just outside Philadelphia to Ocean City and back again. Rookie riders set personal bests by going 150 miles over two days. I road my first century on Saturday, and then led most of the team in a nice little pace line through out most of Sunday.

It was a great ride, and amazingly successful. The Greater Delaware Chapter of the MS Society is on pace to raise a record break 5 million dollars, and Team Screens 'N' Spokes has already contributed over $38,000 to the cause this year, and we haven't yet tallied our funds from the art show.

Thanks for all the support so far guys, this place made all of it possible.

And a little pic the MS Society took at the starting line... none of those fine folks are me however:

Thanks Allison! We're now the now the 7th highest fundraising friends and family team, without an outside shot at top 5, which would be pretty sweet for our little second year team.

We made it! Today, the last day to donate, Jess and I donated the funds from the Screens 'N' Spokes Art show to the MS Society, bringing our team's total donation to $50,000.

$50,000 was a bit of a pipe dream for us when started this year. Last year the team and show combined to raise just over $31,000. But with a larger team and even better artwork I thought we'd be able to improve.

Thanks to everyone for helping us get there! You are all awesome.
