The Texas 4000 for Cancer use online ticketing through Ticketbud!

This weekend was the kick-off to a special, annual effort. The LIVESTRONG TEXAS 4000 FOR CANCER, the world's longest annual charity bike ride, is a community of cancer fighters. The riders, all University of Texas students, are the passionate young people at the heart of the organization. They train, fundraise, educate, and bring hope to those with cancer. Our Director of Marketing, John Fitch, had the pleasure in the past to take part on the ride from Austin, TX to Anchorage, Alaska. Ticketbud was more than honored to assist in the weekend's festivities as the ride soon approaches it's 8th annual endeavor.

Past riders purchased tickets online through Ticketbud to the dinner and the camping trip after Saturday's ride with the 2011 team.

ATLAS is the 1st day of the ride for the riders where people from all around come out and ride the first leg of the ride with the team, end the ride at a vineyard to have BBQ and recover, and say their goodbyes before the team heads off for 69 more days of a remarkable feat. [caption id="attachment_2759" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Rider Registration"][/caption] This year's ATLAS ride had over 450 riders come out and ride 50+ miles with the 2011 team. That is more guest-riders than any other ATLAS ride has produced. A significant amount of family and friends that did not ride came out to the ending ceremonies at the vineyard as well.

We recommend watching this video made for the 2011 Team as well as keeping up with the riders' blogs on the Texas 4000 Website. WE > CANCER, Ticketbud Team ]]]]> ]]>
