San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 16, 2008 -- Blaze Rider, America's newest superhero for kids and animals announces the 2008 Dollar for Mile Challenge.

In support of these leading beneficiaries, a new Blaze Heart™ sponsorship program has been launched that offers five levels designed to allow any organization to participate: Giant Heart Sponsor, Super Heart Sponsor, Mega Heart Sponsor, Ultra Heart Sponsor, and Power Heart Sponsor. There are also dealer coop programs in place for a number of leading motorcycle brands.
