Hi There:
My name is Caroline Bracht. I am with a local organization called Bikes Without Borders. Our current project, Pedal-Powered Hope, will supply community HIV/AIDS workers with new bikes and bicycle ambulances to assist in their life-saving work.
To raise funds for the project, we are putting on the 1st Annual Virgin Mobile Bike for Africa on Toronto Islands on May 30. The event will feature a 2-hour walk or bike, followed by a BBQ picnic at our 'village' at Hanlan's Point and an afternoon with Toronto's hottest local bands. Virgin mobile will be doing extensive promotion for the event, and we are expecting upwards of 1,000 participants.
We are currently in the stage of promotion and plan on stopping by to drop off some post cards and posters. If you do not have anywhere for our poster please contact me at
carolinebracht@... so we will not make the trip down. Also, if you have a listserve/contact list can you please forward the attached press release in order to spread the word about this event.
Finally, you can suggest to others that there is a possibility to sign up as a group (up to 10) which can save individuals some of the registration fees and make it a group activitity.
Thank you for your time,
Yours,
Caroline
