BORP Fundraiser - One final request   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #6367 of 7642 |
Hello All!

It's not too late to donate money to a great cause! I'm only a few dollars away from reaching my goal.

Thanks,
Isaias
**********

On Saturday, October 4th, I will be riding my bicycle, for the third consecutive year, to raise funds for BORP. The BORP Revolution is a 100-mile bike ride taking place in Sonoma County's picturesque back roads. I will be joined by other able-bodied cyclists as well as BORP participants: disabled athletes using hand cycles and others who are visually impaired but guided by a partner.
 
BORP, or Bay Area Outreach and Recreation Program, is a non-profit organization that fosters the health, independence, and social integration of youth and adults with physical disabilities through sport, fitness and recreation programs. For more information please visit the BORP website:
 
To pledge funds, simply visit my personal BORP fundraising page, https://www.active.com/donate/BORPRevolution2008/IJob1
All online donations are secure. However, if you preferred to do things the tried and true way, you can also send checks payable to Bay Area Outreach & Recreation Program to: BORP, 830 Bancroft Way, Suite 205, Berkeley, CA 94710 (please put my name in the notes field).

Or make your check payable to me: Isaias Job, 2599 Garcia Ave, Mountain View, CA 94043 and I will in turn write one check to turn in.
NOTE: More of your funds actually go to BORP when writing a check because bank credit card processing fees are avoided!
 
Thanks In Advance,

Isaias
 
 PS

A snippet about last year's success from the director of BORP:
 
Revolution 2007, By the Numbers:
 
We had 203 fundraising riders.  As a group, you raised over
 $150,000. Your efforts support BORP's mission, improving
 the health, independence and social integration of people
 with physical disabilities through sports, fitness and
 recreation programs.
 
There were 54 100-mile riders, 56 riders on the 65-mile
 route, 66 25-mile riders, and 27 trail riders.  All together
 we rode 11,000 miles. We also had over 100 volunteers going
 above the call of duty to make this event the success it
 was. You can relive the experience by watching the Revolution
 2007 VIDEO and SLIDE SHOW on our website www.borp.org.
 
  Removing Barriers, Expanding Worlds
  Because of you, BORP will be able to reach out to a segment
  of the disabled community that requires additional
  assistance in order to participate in our programs.  Your efforts
  will allow us to provide transportation to youth and adults
  who would otherwise be left sitting at home.  Your
  participation helps us supply sports equipment, underwrite travel
  expenses for low-income athletes, and provide expert
  coaching and access to athletic facilities.  With your support,
  we are systematically shattering barriers between
  individuals with disabilities and the benefits of sports, adventure
  and fitness. Because of your efforts, the world of our
  participants will expand, and we as a community will benefit.
 
 Thank you, from all of us at BORP.
 
 Kristi Grotting
 Board President
