chasingKIMBIA is excited to announce the Auction for Education and to formally introduce The KIMbia Foundation.
The hope is to raise awareness about the current state of education in Kenya and to offer people an opportunity to support education-related projects there. (Click here to see a video about this initiative!)
The Auction for Education
Up for bid is a custom pair of KIMbia racing flats signed by Ben Maiyo and Stephen “Baba” Kiogora. This New Balance RC205 racing flat has been customized specifically for the KIMbia athletes. On the front is the KIMbia Athletics logo and on the back is the Kenyan shield. This is the same shoe that Ben and Baba will wear during the 2007 Boston Marathon.
The auction has officially opened with a starting bid of $100. It will close at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 7th. The winning bid will go to support one of three education-related projects in Kenya (the winner’s choice).
