REFUEL and the SportElectric TT were created to foster innovation in the face of environmental challenges. In that same sprit, Speed Ventures is pleased to announce that a portion of proceeds will be donated to HEIFER INTERNATIONAL to support innovative efforts to end hunger and mitigate poverty in communities across the globe.

HEIFER'S MISSION TO END HUNGER

A world of communities living together in peace and equitably sharing the resources of a healthy planet.

To work with communities to end hunger and poverty and to care for the earth.

To "pass on the gift". As people share their animals' offspring with others along with their knowledge, resources, and skills – an expanding network of hope, dignity, and self-reliance is created that reaches around the globe.

This simple idea of giving families a source of food rather than short-term relief caught on and has continued for over 60 years. Today, millions of families in 128 countries have been given the gifts of self-reliance and hope.

Heifer's mission is to end hunger and poverty while caring for the Earth. For more than 65 years, Heifer International has provided gifts of livestock and environmentally sound agricultural training to improve the lives of those who struggle daily for reliable sources of food and income. Since 1944, Heifer has helped 12 million families--62 million men, women and children--through training in livestock development and livestock gifts that multiply.

Every gift of an animal provides direct benefits such as milk, eggs, wool, fertilizer, as well as indirect benefits that increase family incomes for better housing, nutrition, health care and school fees for children, especially girls. Recipients Pass on the Gift of offspring of their cows, goats and other livestock as well as education and training to others in an ever-widening circle of help and hope.

Heifer provides 28 types of animals to families in need in more than 50 countries, including the United States.
