We had the good fortune to come by some last minute tickets to the 2013 Alice Awards & Auction, put on by the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) a couple of Sundays ago on May 4th at Pure Space in the Pearl. Now in its 18th year, the Alice Awards & Auction brings together residents, leaders, and businesses from around Oregon to honor the work of those who have made bicycling better. The event highlighted the impact the BTA has had on bicycle safety education programs and recognized the great work of some of our community leaders. All of the proceeds from the event and auctions go to support the work of the BTA.

Are you ready for a party? Then don’t hesitate to buy your tickets for the 2013 Alice Awards & Auction, hosted by the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) at Pure Space in the Pearl on May 4th, 2013 at 5pm.
Here are the details from a press release from the BTA:
“The Bicycle Transportation Alliance is excited to announce the winners of the 2013 Alice Awards & Auction, to be held on May 4th. This is the 18th year the BTA will honor select Oregon citizens for their work to make bicycling safe, more convenient, and more accessible.
As part of the BTA’s celebration around reaching the 50,000th student with bicycle safety curriculum, awardees were selected based on their efforts to make the nation, Oregon, and Portland a better place for bicycling.
The winners of the 2013 Alice Awards are:
US Rep. Peter DeFazio – Bud Clark Lifetime Achievement Award Winner
Alison Hill Graves – Alice Award Winner
Kristin Warren – Alice Award Winner
The BTA will also honor Jay Graves for his contributions to the community at the Alice Awards on May 4th. Graves has previously been the recipient of both an Alice Award and a Bud Clark Lifetime Achievement Award. As Graves steps away from his role at Bike Gallery, the BTA is excited to thank him once again for his hard work and dedication to bicycling over the years.”
