SCOTTSDALE, AZ and SALEM, MA--(Jan 13, 2015) - EVantage USA, Inc., exclusive marketers of Polaris®-branded electric bicycles, has teamed up with NFL great Jim Brown for Legends of Football Event January 29-30, 2015, a mega charity fundraiser in conjunction with Super Bowl XLIX to benefit national programs of the Amer-I-Can Foundation.

The non-profit organization founded by Brown helps enable individuals to meet their academic potential and improve the quality of their lives.

"We didn't hesitate one bit when asked by Jim Brown to participate in his annual charity fundraiser. We were humbled to have the interest of this legendary football icon in our bike line-up. We're proud to do our part and very pleased to support him as he raises funds for the great programs supported by his Amer-I-Can Foundation," said Adam Rand, President of EVantage USA, Inc., engineers and developers of the Polaris electric bicycles line.
