Fw: Earn $1 for WABA with Every Ride You Take!

[karen Comer]

I am on the email list for the (other) Washington bike advocacy group - WABA (Washington Area Bicyclist Association). See the attached notice about maximizing a donation from Cliff Bar to the group. Like the May Commuter challenge the goal is count the number of trips, not miles, to get this donation.

If any of you are so inclined to assist another bike advocacy group please follow the links.

Washington Area Bicyclist Association Getting There by Bike Since 1972

Dear Karen, Every time you ride your bike in July, you can earn $1 for WABA! That's because we've been made the July beneficiary for CLIF Bar's 2 Mile Challenge! This is a great opportunity to contribute to WABA simply by riding your bike. Only trips logged during the 31 days of July count towards our goal of $10,000, so get riding and get online to log your trips! Supporting WABA with your bicycle trips is easy and fun. Start today at www.2milechallenge.com! Here are the important details: Go to www.2milechallenge.com & click “Join the Ride” to get started. You can also log in with your facebook account. Every trip is worth $1, but miles aren't worth anything, so log any trip no matter how long or short. Try to log your trips on the day you took them. Each registrant can log up to four trips per day. The challenge is nationwide, so tell your friends and family to register and log their trips, no matter where they live! CLIF Bar and WABA will be giving out prizes for most trips logged! As of today, we need to log an average of 326 trips every day for the rest of the month (thank goodness July has 31 days!). But it's summer in DC, and the heat and vacation season will take their toll. So we need you to ride & we need you to log your trips! We want to be the first 2 Mile Challenge beneficiary to make CLIF Bar pay out the maximum $10,000! Every dollar raised through this challenge will go to support our advocacy and outreach efforts throughout the Washington area. And with your help we can log 10,000 by the end of July. As a DC-area bicyclist, you are the reason we're working hard every day, and you have the power to help us do even better! Biking in DC is bigger than ever, thanks to you. In fact, if everyone reading this email were to go to www.2milechallenge.com and log one trip right now, we could finish the contest today! Thank you for riding, Gina Arlotto WABA Planning and Organizational Development
