Curing Kids Cancer Breaks Record at Mecum Motorcycle Auction in Las Vegas!

The South Point Hotel & Casino recently hosted the Mecum Motorcycle Auction at the end of January in Las Vegas, NV. Motorcycle Safety Lawyers® was in attendance supporting Curing Kids Cancer (CKC) in their efforts to raise money to fund research to find cures for childhood cancer.

Grainne Owen, Co-Founder and President of Curing Kids Cancer and her team, were excited to break a fundraising record at the January Mecum Auction!! Grainne was able to accomplish this through funds raised by the helmet auctions, road art auctions and the generous donations received at Mecum! A total of $103,000 was raised at the January event!

The Art from The Heart fundraising campaign was a partnership between Motorcycle Safety Lawyers®, KIRSH Helmets, Motorcycle Knuckle Busters, and Curing Kids Cancer. It began with 25 artists from around the country custom painting KIRSH Helmets with their own unique designs and submitting them to be voted on by the public. The voting closed at the end of December and the winner was chosen and announced at Mecum. Havana Kustoms produced the winning helmet and was presented with a $5000 check from Motorcycle Safety Lawyers® a division of Shuman Legal®.

The winning helmet was auctioned at Mecum and bought by non-other than Mike Wolfe from American Pickers for $17,000. Mike graciously donated the helmet back stating that he believes in Curing Kids Cancer’s efforts and wants to help them raise even more money to save children’s lives. The winning helmet will be crossing the auction block at the Indianapolis Mecum Auction in May 2023.
