Thank YOU for being a Biketoberfest champion!
Biketoberfest is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with friends who love our community, but everything raised in support of the event will go to continue Sustain Charlotte’s efforts to expand greenway networks, build protected bike lanes, and advocate for equitable policy decisions around housing and transportation options.
Plus, the more you raise the bigger the prize you can win! Check out our prizes below.

Don't be afraid to share specifics about WHY you're participating, not just what you're doing.
Keep It Short
Studies show that people only read an email or text at full attention for THREE SECONDS. Don't be afraid to BOLD the most important parts of your message. It's an age-old fundraising trick!
Follow Up
Don't feel bad about reminding folks to give. People often intend to give but get busy. Send a follow-up message via email or text 3-5 days later with nothing more than one or two sentences - "Just a quick follow-up to my previous message. Here is a link to give if you haven't had a chance yet! INSERT LINK'
