VaVaVroom announced its upcoming motorcycle and scooter riding jacket sweepstakes, which will be held on the company's Facebook page from May 17 - June 7, 2011. In keeping with the company's spirit of designing fashionable, functional riding apparel for women of all sizes, the contest will ask women motorcycle and scooter riders to answer the following question in 50 words or less:
"What is your favorite feature of the new VaVaVroom 1.0 Motorcycle and Scooter Riding Jacket and why?"
VaVaVroom founder, Denise Maple, noted that VaVaVroom "wants to collect feedback from its loyal community of women riders and reward them for their valuable input."
After submitting answers on VaVaVroom’s Facebook page, contestants will automatically be entered into its weekly sweepstakes for two VaVaVroom 1.0 Riding Jackets, the company’s newest product. Since two jackets are better than one - contest winners will receive one jacket for themselves and one for a lucky friend. In the event that a winner has already purchased the 1.0 Riding Jacket at VaVaVroomOnline.com during the sweepstakes period, they will be reimbursed for their purchase by VaVaVroom LLC. Submissions will be accepted from May 17 – June 7, 2011. In addition to the company’s Facebook page, contest entries will also be accepted by mail. Three weekly prizes will be awarded on May 25, June 1, and June 8, 2011. Winners will be chosen at random. Full contest rules can be found on VaVaVroom’s Facebook page by clicking on the Sweepstakes tab.

VaVaVroom not only wants to give away its jacket, the company also wants to "give back". During the month of May, VaVaVroom is encouraging customers to "Shop to Save a Life". VaVaVroom will donate 10% of May, 2011 online motorcycle jacket sales to Riders for Health. Riders for Health mobilizes health workers, providing millions of people in rural Africa with access to care. Without reliable transportation, this would not be possible. Riders for Health is training local health workers in seven countries across Africa to operate their motorcycles safely and to carry out basic preventative maintenance. This ensures that the motorcycles will not break down and the health workers are able to efficiently and effectively do the job they were trained to do. This jacket purchase brings Riders for Health steps closer to its vision of a world in which people do not suffer or die simply because the health care they need does not reach them.
