MXGP supports IRP Foundation

FRAUENFELD GACHNANG (Switzerland), 07 August 2016 - Following the Qualifying Race Press Conference here in Frauenfeld Gachnang at the MXGP of Switzerland presented by iXS, Youthstream Director David Luongo, Philippe Boissonnas, General Secretary of IRP, the international foundation research in Paraplegia, and the IRP Ambassador Marc Ristori, launched a new campaign where fans and spectators of MXGP can purchase a MXGP branded drinking glass for 2 euro, to keep as a souvenir, where 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the IRP charity.

The glasses are available for purchase at all of the bars here in Frauenfeld-Gachnang, as well as at the MXGP merchandising Store, inside the paddock restaurant, and inside the VIP restaurant. MXGP and IRP wish to cooperate with such initiative until the end of the season, therefore 5,000 cups have been produced.

IRP is a foundation that boosts the research in paraplegia by providing researchers with the resources needed to fund their work. In addition, Team Suzuki World MX2’s Swiss sensation Jeremy Seewer was on stage to present his limited edition iXS race shirt, which has a traditional Swiss farmer’s influence. Only 91 copies were made.

Jeremy has donated one of his limited edition jersey, the number 91, which was signed by him personally at the press conference, to the IRP charity to be auctioned off inside the Organiser VIP Restaurant here at his home grand prix, the MXGP of Switzerland presented by iXS, where the 100% of the winning auction will be donated to charity.
