Slowtwitch forum members charity 'apparel' and 'race hats' - Pics. by 'hottie thread candidate' Heather of Cervelo
Quote | Reply
The ever-charming and helpful Heather, apparel guru at Cervelo and forum member herself, kindly took some snapshots of the first samples produced of the 'Peaceful tribe' apparel!

For those of you that don't know about this, like cervelodude, the Peaceful Tribe apparel is all about forum members around the world having an identity which joins us in spirit when they're out training, racing....whatever.....whilst at the same time raising money for our chosen charity The Challenged Athletes Foundation.

The Challenged Athletes Foundation, headed by Virginia Tinley, (Scott Tinley, the triathlete's wife) is actively going through grant requests and individual cases for us to focus on directly, i.e. whatever we donate we will see the fruit of, so to speak, rather than donate to a large charity where the money is a drop in the ocean.

We will literally know who we're helping out and see what we have bought/done for them.....

Place your orders on www.cervelo.com/tribe and you will also see how much money is raised with each piece sold. Important to say is this has been produced at 0% profit and it ALL goes to charity. Some of us are even losing money on this so the commitment is unquestionable.

We hope to raise $10,000 or more! So, this is your chance to buy some kharma and cool in one go!!!!! Do it....

First the caps. We are producing 300 of them and they have the logos embroidered. produced by Headsweats, official supplier of Ironman and Cannondale brands for example. The cap features a Challenged Athlete Foundation logo on the side of the cap which we can't see here....



Now, the short-sleeve tee shirts:



Now the sleeveless:



Finally, the long-sleeve tee shirts:



So there we have it.....the text is in red by the way, some of the fots have suffered through downgrading the quality of the image to get them up in here fast.....

Let's keep this bumped up all day every day because there are many people who still don't know about this....thanks everyone.

they look absolutely sweet. This is an amazing thing that you have created Stephen, I'm sure I can speak for everyone on here when I say a heartfelt thankyou for all your hard work and also to Heather and everyone else at Cervelo for stepping up and running with this.

My only problem now is that despite having put in an order for 2 hats and one each of the T-shirts, having seen the photos, I now want a race top too. Not sure if the budget will stretch that far this time.

Cheers,

Justin.

thanks for your kind words...much appreciated!

Yes, the race top is soooooooooo cool....probably the coolest item???? I wear sleeveless out on the bike from May to October and all-year round running, so I'm definately buying one....

By the way, I am buying my own apparel and hat, no freebie for me....

I have a hat already, not with the Peaceful tribe design but samples sent to me by Alan Romick of Headsweats...and it's a fantastic tech material...super-light.....run with it the other day when it was warm and it worked well.....recommended.

hahahaha....yes, I did actually....Alan sent me two caps and a headband with a peak type thingie....the caps were the Timex 2004 Ironman cap and another of the CAF (Challenged Athlete Foundation). The headband an Ironman branded one.

Did not get samples from anyone else at all.....the fots you saw posted were pics they sent me and I added logos etc using Photoshop!!! So, no Oomph, Hincapie, LeslieJordan or Crafts at all.

See, complete transparency....

by the way, Tom Demerly wrote the article that inspired this:

Orders so far stand at:

LCS (sleeve-less) = 34
This means approx. $1,292 for charity!

After Dark (short-sleeve t-Shirt)= 97
$1,164 for charity approx.

Before Sunrise (long-sleeve t-shirt)= 76
$1,140 for charity approx.

Hats = 43
$430 for charity approx.

By my calculations, this means we have approx. $4,026 for charity already!!!!!!

Great stuff.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want it to hit $10,000 or above...can we do it?????

The OFFICIAL EXPLANATION hence....and how to say it:

Look away from the person who has just asked, OR look through them.....pause for 6 seconds, make the silence unnerving...then say...."It's like Zen, if you don't know I can't explain it....."

Then walk away.....

Please bump this up for me as we can't let this out of sight....we have new forum members every day I would guess.....and then there are those, like cervelodude who hadn't even noticed what this was all about!!!!

Thanks for all your help. Remember, it isn't for my sake but for the Challenged Athlete Foundation....

By mid-February we should have a person or case to directly help out!!!!! This will be great as it won't all be lost in the ocean of money the UNICEF's of this world get from all over the world.....

please bump it up!

On a related note (and an excuse to bump this thread), I attended a screening of "Emmanuel's Gift" last night and would encourage anyone out there to see it if you have the opportunity. I really feel honored to be just a small part of an organization like CAF that impacts the lives of so many people. Even if you can't see the film, take a couple minutes and read the article from SI below. Emmanuel is the real deal. This guy is as unselfish and genuine as they come.

Jim MacLaren (the inspiration for CAF's creation) said it best (and I'm paraphrasing here, so apoligies to Jim if I mangle his quote): "You shouldn't look at him (Emmanuel) and say, 'my god, I wouldn't want to be like him', you should look at him and say, 'my god, I wish I were more like him".

Anyway, read the story below. Then click on that Cervelo link and order hats for everyone you know.

Alright people, let's help Stephen out here. Buy five hats, give them to your friends, make everybody happy and save Stephen from bankruptcy.

Also, I have to say that the shirts look much better than the photos indicate.

I'm trying to figure out why we're letting Stephen buy any of his own apparel. After all the work he's done, I think we should make sure he never recieves a bill!

Time to get off my rear and finally order my stuff.

Excellent work!!! It's also great to know that all proceeds go to CAF & we will know specifically who will get the benefit. Thank you for all your work on this, and thank you to cervelo for coming through to get it done.

Those came out great. Well done. I definitely have to get a hat or two, even though it will be filthy after approximately one use.

Thanks for the kind words JM3 and Gerard....I actually regret posting that I was paying for the caps to get them done and for my apparel / especially after I said I didn't want anyone to know.......duh!!!!! a moment of weakness.....lack of sleep.....you name it....

It sounds like I'm trying to be a martyr or something.....but then again, if it shames you all into buying more hats and gear etc then what the hell!!!!! ha!

Still, it stands.....I'm paying for my own stuff.....I will not accept freebies....well, Alan of Headsweats sent me some free caps as gifts for myself and my wife so.....well, that's different.....it was Christmas....I'm rambling....bump!

I don't wear hat's but...

I've been watching this whole thing unfold and was wondering sine we are giving the money to charity. Could we just donate 20$, for the purchase of a hat and have them give the hat to the charity?

I don't know much about the charity but if they are athletes I'm assuming some of them wear hats.

A thought anyway.

I'm sure you could donate a hat, but I think Stephen is attempting to actually impact the life of a kid. Call me crazy, but I think it's a good idea.

I said I'd donate 20$ for the purchase of the hat....but don't want the hat. IOW I'd buy the hat, they get teh charitable donation, Stephen gets rid of one ore hat and teh same charity gets a hat from which the donation is coming from.

Makes sense to me.
