Bike for Love is a fundraising and awareness campaign to raise money for LOVE 146, a non-profit organization whose mission is to abolish human slavery and restore those who have been taken captive.
The campaign will last from now until the first week of May, culminating the weekend of May 4-6, 2012. On these days, modern day abolitionists (that's you!) will bike ride 14.6 miles, with the common goal of abolishing human trafficking/slavery.
What are the requirements?
1. Each rider is required to donate a minimum of $14.60 to participate.
2. Then plan a 14.6 mile route to take place on May 4th, 5th, or 6th. Ride alone, or ride in a small group.
The details are up to you - where and when you ride. This way you can participate at your own convenience.
If you would like to join a group of other riders, let me know and I will help you network with other riders.
3. Invite others - recruit other riders, raise additional money and spread awareness! It's easy - just talk to others about your own involvement! (For additional materials, contact me!)
4. Get creative - make T-shirts to wear on your bike ride with your group!
5. Take pictures to be uploaded on the blog/Facebook pages!
Why 14.6 miles?
There is nothing special about the distance 14.6 miles. It is just a way to make it easy for everyone to participate and to incorporate the organization - LOVE 146.
Where is the money going?
100% of the proceeds will go to LOVE 146.
How to donate?
I will be collecting all donations and keeping track of funds/people who donate. You can give cash or write a check directly to LOVE 146.
The GOALS:
1. Create awareness for both:
- the cause - human trafficking
- and the organization - LOVE 146.
2. Raise $1,460 to be donated directly to LOVE 146.
Look for the next posts...to find out more details about the cause, the organization and the campaign!
