PADUA, Italy (BRAIN) — An Italy-based organization is raising money by raffling pro team bikes to support the building of a children's maxillofacial operating room in Armenia.
The organization is selling raffle tickets for 10 euros; each tickets offers a chance to win one of 11 autographed bikes donated by pro team riders. The riders are from Astana, Cannondale, Lampre-Merida, Tinkoff-Saxo, and Katusha. The bikes come from athletes including Vincenzo Nibali, Peter Sagan, Ivan Basso, Elia Viviani, and Nicolas Roche.
The aim is to raise 500,000 euros to create the operating room specifically to help children with cranio-facial malformations. The facility would be in a hospital in the Armenian capital, Yerevan.
