I would like to let you know about a great opportunity to support Climate Solutions while enjoying the outdoor experience of a lifetime. We are now a beneficiary of the Climate Ride project—a national series of bike rides and hikes supporting climate change and clean economy organizations. Participants raise funds as they ride—and now folks can raise funds for Climate Solutions this way too.
Upcoming Climate Rides include fully supported tours along Maine’s coastline with “Bar Harbor to Boston” (Sept. 17-21, 2015), or exploring the ‘Cape Cod’ of the Midwest long the way from Grand Rapids to Chicago (Sept. 27-30, 2015). (insert cycling photo from climate ride)
Folks llike me who enjoy hiking can join an upcoming Climate Hike through Bryce and Zion National Parks.
Participants in past Climate Ride events have described the experience as ‘life-changing’ and ‘eye-opening.’ How great to be able to combine such a ride with supporting Climate Solutions’ mission. By selecting Climate Solutions as your beneficiary when you register for a Climate Ride, your fundraising for your ride will help keep our efforts in high gear.
If you’re interested, or if you know others who might be, please find out more by visiting www.climateride.org. Climate Ride can help participants with fundraising, training and logistics. Each event is fully supported by a team of talented leaders. A few key details:
- Registration for each event is $100 (which includes a beautiful cycling jersey or hiking shirt and more); then each participant commits to raising at least $2800.
- If the location or date option mentioned above don’t suit your schedule, you can create your own Independent Challenge at a time that works for you, with just a $1,000 fundraising minimum.
Climate Ride is an exciting way to help create a better future for all of us, and experience an incredible adventure powered by your own energy.
Stay tuned for future opportunities to support us in 2016 with more great Climate Ride options in store, possibly right here in the Northwest!
