Santa Cruz Bicycles Employees Affected by CZU Fire
Donation protected
- This fundraiser is now closed. - A massive THANKS to all the riders, community members, and organizations who donated to support employees of Santa Cruz Bicycles. More to come soon.
As many of you know the mountains around Santa Cruz are currently in the midst of a historic fire event.
At this time there are 44 Santa Cruz Bicycles employees that have been evacuated and displaced, and 4 are already confirmed to have lost their homes entirely. Many more are waiting to hear about when they will be able to return to their homes, and if they even have a home left to return to.
While Santa Cruz Bicycles company support is also directly helping displaced employees with immediate needs as well as helping plan longer term financial care, a great many of our friends and industry partners have reached out to ask how they can help. We are humbled and honored by your thoughts and generosity. The Santa Cruz Bicycles community thanks you for your support.
Unfortunately, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. When the fire is contained it’s likely going to take weeks-to-months before folks can return to their homes, as Santa Cruz County officials expect significant damage to roadway, water and electrical infrastructure.
Santa Cruz Field Marketing superstar Garen Becker's house aflame after personally fighting the fire for 3 days.
Because most Santa Cruz employee evacuees gathered their families & pets and escaped with the clothes on their backs, the most immediate short-term need is for temporary housing, food, clothes and other essential day-to-day living items.
100% of all money donated will go to help support employees with immediate needs as well as the employee long-term care fund. We are in it for the long-haul.
Syd Newson, Human Resources rockstar, and Andrea Turner, Project Management head honcho, lost their houses in the fires. This couple is expecting a baby later this year.
*This campaign has been set up by the employees of Santa Cruz Bicycles - www.santacruzbicycles.com - to help our fellow Santa Cruz employees that have been affected by the fires, some of whom are shown in the images above.
All funds will go to directly to costs incurred by the affected with proof of payment or billing for fire related damages and associated temporary living expenses.
Thank you for your support!
