- Jeff's close friends and neighbors have come together as a community to support him and his family’s fight with cancer by organizing a local fundraising event. A silent auction and concert, featuring Afro Omega and Honest Soul, will be held at the State Room Saturday, April 30 starting at 7pm. Tickets are available @ thestateroomslc.com
- On top of the auction, a drawing will be held for a custom built, one-of-a-kind bicycle. Intended to be a complete immersion into the custom bicycle scene, the winner will enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip to Portland, OR to meet with the builder, Tony Pereira, for a fitting and design consultation. This trip will include airfare, hotel, meals, and a bicycle tour—this is valued at over $10,000. More details available at www.jeffbatesmf.org.
