AMBC Bike Raffle Redirects 2024 Fundraiser Proceeds to Help Hurricane Helene Storm Victims

Every November, the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club (AMBC) hosts the best bike raffle in the Southeast. Every year, it raises a good chunk of money to support Knoxville’s trail systems, and someone wins a (really) rad bike.

This year was different. In the wake of the massive and devastating Hurricane Helene, AMBC redirected 100% of its bike raffle proceeds – $59,812 – to storm relief efforts across multiple affected Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA) regions.

AMBC partnered with locally owned Harper’s Bike Shop and industry partners to build a top-of-the-line, custom bicycle valued at over $11,000. Generous contributors included Santa Cruz Bicycles, Cane Creek, Nox Composites, Industry Nine, SRAM and OneUp Components.
