YOU CAN HELP needy FAMILIES ONE MILE AT A TIME!

Make your ride count in 2011!  You can really make a difference in the lives of local families with the pledges you collect and you will find your friends, family and colleagues are excited to be a part of the event.

Our 2011 online donations site will be open soon.  Just email friends & family the link, tell them to pick your name under the “Select Fundraiser” list and watch your pledges grow!

There are GREAT PRIZES for the individuals and teams who raise the most charitable donations, so set your goals high!

I would like to invite you, to participate with me, in helping to make a difference for homeless youth and families in our community one mile at a time!  Every summer since 1988 bicyclists from as far away as New York & Alaska have been participating in the Rotary Club of Redmond’s Redspoke event - a five day, 300 mile bicycle tour from Redmond to Spokane. The 2011 Redspoke will be held July 13-11, 2011 & we hope to raise more money than ever for local family programs.  

I will be riding in the event.  If riding with me is not quite the involvement you see for yourself, I am hoping you could consider making a tax deductible donation.  Redmond Rotary uses 100% of the proceeds of this event to benefit local family programs through “Hopelink” and"Eastside Baby Corner", in addition to other charitable activities. Visit www.hope-link.org or www.babycorner.org to learn more.

I hope you will join me in helping to reignite the spirit, passion and possibilities in life for so many of our local families.  Your tax deductible donation (Tax ID# 943168972) will help make a difference.  Donations can be made on-line at http://www.active.com/donate/RedSpoke2011 , just pick my name under the “Select Fundraiser” list.  If you would prefer to mail in a donation, please make a check for any amount you wish to Redmond Rotary Foundation & mail directly to Redmond Rotary Foundation at PO Box 563, Redmond, WA 98073 – please clearly note my name and Red-Spoke on the check.  You can find additional information about this event and charity fund raiser online at www.Redspoke.org.   

Sincerely,
