| 10/27/2001 | More than a thousand volunteer trailworkers will receive free heavy-duty work gloves thanks to a new alliance between eBay and the International Mountain Bicycling Association.
eBay, the world's online marketplace, has joined IMBA as a corporate member and paid for a shipment of custom work gloves to help support and reward volunteer trailworkers. The leather gloves feature both the eBay and IMBA logos and are being distributed to IMBA-affiliated mountain bike clubs coast-to-coast and beyond.
Mountain bike clubs can request the free work gloves by completing a simple form on IMBA's website at: http://www.imba.com/resources/grants/index.html
"IMBA is very grateful for eBay's support," says IMBA executive director Tim Blumenthal. "Good gloves are essential to produce great trailwork."
Founded in 1995, eBay created a powerful platform for the sale of goods and services by a passionate community of individuals and businesses. Today, the eBay community includes 38 million registered users, and is the most popular shopping site on the Internet. eBay enables trade on a local, national and international basis with customized sites in markets around the world.
The International Mountain Bicycling Association creates, enhances and preserves trail opportunities for mountain bikers worldwide. IMBA's worldwide network includes 32,000 individual members and more than 450 bicycle clubs.www.imba.org
