Product Architects Inc and Headsweats were among the brands that helped raise $75,000 for flood relief efforts in Jamestown, CO. through their support of the one-day Cyclists 4 Jamestown bicycle ride and fundraiser.


Product Architects raised $800 by selling a customer version of its Polar Bottle insulated water bottlers at the end of the race, with 100 percent of the proceeds donated back to the Colorado volunteer group.Headsweats donated 100 of their Colorado Flood Relief Collection Race Hats for the cause. The hats were given as a gift with purchase of anything over $50.00 at the fundraiser’s silent auction.

 

“Jamestown is such an important hub for Boulder County cyclists,” said Polar Bottle Sales Manager Phil Bash. “We’ve been part of the Boulder cycling industry for close to 20 years so we really appreciated the opportunity to participate in this event.” 

Jamestown, located just north of the city of Boulder, is a popular local cycling destination and one of the areas hit hardest by the recent Colorado flooding. The Cyclists for Jamestown group was formed post-flood to organize volunteers and help raise money to assist in relief efforts.


“It is awesome to see the cycling community come together to help out this community,” Bash said. “On Saturday, we had people donating two to three times more than we were selling the bottles for.”


Along with the more than $800 sent to the Jamestown group today, Polar Bottle has helped raise more than $500 for general flood relief efforts thanks to an online promotion rewarding customers who donate to relief efforts with a free Colorado flag water bottle (a $14.99 value).
