Maine Motorcyclists---Be a Rebel With a Cause!

The pink ribbon specialty plate for cars was released in October 2008. Over 15,000 plates have now been issued, raising over $400,000 for programs here in Maine. Now an effort is under way to offer breast cancer specialty plates to the motorcycle community.

First, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles requires 500 reservations to start printing this plate! Please help us reach our goal of 500 reservations. Click here to reserve your plate now. Only $25!



Here's how the specialty motorcycle plate program works:

  1. A minimum of 500 Maine residents must pre-order the plate.
  2. Early registrants will receive a voucher in the mail.
  3. The BMV will begin to produce the motorcycle plates.
  4. The breast cancer awareness motorcycle plates will then be available for general order at all BMV branches.

Just like the companion specialty plate for automobiles, the proceeds from this effort will be split equally between three organizations: the Maine Breast Cancer Coalition's Support Service Fund, the Maine Cancer Foundation for their Women’s Cancer Fund, and the Maine Breast and Cervical Health Program for their Mammogram Fund.

100% of the money raised will stay in Maine!
