I just wanted to thank everybody who came out to our Shamrock and Rollover Event this past weekend at Connollys. With a few hundred of our favorite friends, family, and the lucky strangers we lured in off the street with our cold Guinness and delicious grub, we raised over $5,000 in just 3 hours!!! The Board of the Dublin Dog Foundation not only can put together wonderful charities, but they can sure throw a party as well. We had 5 therapy and service dogs join the celebration, a wonderful DJ rippin’ the records, and of course, the Bike of the hour. That’s right, folks lined up to get a chance to win the Dublin Dog Foundation Dream Bike and Sidecar. With only 30 days left until we start our pilgrimage to Washington DC, we’re laser focused on hitting our goal of $20,000. So thank you again for a wonderful event and be sure to stay in touch for all additional events that will be taking place during the month of June. Special thanks again to all the great folks at Connolly’s and Bojangles! We could not have done it without you.

Ok gang, we are almost at the halfway mark of our goal of raising $20,000 for our candidate with Cerebral Palsy to receive a service dog. We are absolutely thrilled with the feedback we’ve received on the Dublin Dog Foundation Dream Bike. It’s a real spectacle, so be sure to check out the entire fabrication in the photo section of the website. However, we can’t stop now, we need ALL YOUR SUPPORT. We have the ability to change a woman’s life by helping her gain some of her independence back this 4th of July, but we can’t do it alone. So make a donation and receive the opportunity to win this one of a kind bike, while at the same time, playing a vital role in helping someone in need!!!

Well after two years of thinking about it, the Dublin Dog Foundation Dream Bike Giveaway is ready to roll. We are thrilled with the work of Expectations Body Shop in SC, who dedicated days of painstaking paint and detail work. But if you ask me, it was all worth it. Take a look at this baby. It has over 6 coats of specialty paint, along with three artists contributing their skills. The main painter, Doug Johnson, along with his airbrush specialist and old school pin stripper. Most importantly, it’s ready to help make a dream a reality for one special needs individual! So enter today for a chance to win this bike over the 4th of July weekend and help to give a very deserving person their independence back.

We should All be so lucky!

The Dream Bike is officially at paint. That’s right, on Friday afternoon I drove to a secret location in South Carolina to meet our new painter, Doug. One look at that bike and Doug was, “that’s one crazy lookin’ bike, this is gonna be fun!” That’s an understatement Doug. This bike is really coming together. A special thanks to the guys at Bicycle Sport, especially Mike who has gone the extra mile on helping us getting the parts necessary so we can actually pedal the thing. Also, we wouldn’t be here without our fabricator Brock, so a special kudos to him as well. So hang on tight folks, the bike will be debuted this week we hope. Here’s a photo from last Thursday night without the full assembly. Check out that leather seat in the sidecar!

Any guess on the paint job? What’s it going to look like? Check back soon to find out!
