We know our Bike MS participants love a challenge. So while you continue to train and prep for the big weekend, we want to call on you to take part in some of our fundraising contests to help you reach your minimum fundraising requirement* and beyond! Pedal Closer to a World Free of MS Contest Bike MS means that with every pedal stroke and every dollar raised, we are closer to a world free of MS. That's why for every $100 raised from September 2nd-9th you will be entered into a drawing for a $150 dollar credit to your choice of pedals or cycling shoes. What will really put power in our pedals is your support and our commitment to those impacted by this disease.
Wine & Dine Contest Indulge yourself in great wine, great food and great company after Bike MS because you deserve it! For every $100 raised September 12th-19th you'll be entered into a drawing to win a bottle of wine from Napa Valley and a $200 gift card to Hal Smith Restaurant Group restaurants. This will be a great way to hit the town on us after Bike MS!
Don't forget- Every rider who raises $750 or more will receive this Bike MS 2016 fundraising jersey! Matching Gifts There are so many fun items to win, so get creative with your fundraising efforts! Ask your co-workers to support you, or partner with your favorite restaurant for a give-back day. Matching gifts are an easy way to double or triple your dollars. Many businesses match employee’s charitable donations on a one-for-one basis. That means if you donate $50, your employer will also donate $50. Some companies generously match two-for-one or even three-for-one. To find out more about the matching gifts program, email:SC.matchinggifts@nmss.com or to see if your company already has a matching gifts program in place, visit our matching gifts website. Encourage your teammates to check with their employers, too!
