Cystic Fibrosis Ride - FREE registration this week
I decided to do another post that was more obvious. If anyone is interested in doing this great event, let me know. I will forward you an e-mail that will allow you to register for free this week only.
Look forward to details.
Please send the details. If at all possible this would be a great event to support and also support a fellow teammate and his family! Thanks for the heads up Chris.
Fundraiser
I thought this was a fundraiser. How are they suppose to raise money when people get in for free?
$$$
People accept donations. I got this email today.
I have noticed that many of you are still in the early stages of fundraising. I came across this list today and thought it might help! I know for me, breaking things down into smaller goals that are more manageable is so much easier than looking at the big picture.
How to raise $500 in just 9 days!
Day 1 Start by sponsoring yourself for $25
Day 2 Ask 2 family members to sponsor you for $25
Day 3 Ask 10 friends to each contribute $10
Day 4 Ask 5 Co-workers to each contribute $10
Day 5 Ask 5 neighbors to each contribute $10
Day 6 Ask 10 people from your place of worship (or another gathering place) to each donate $5
Day 7 Ask your boss for a company contribution of $25
Day 8 Ask 5 businesses with which your company works for to sponsor you for $20
Day 9 Ask 2 businesses you frequent to sponsor you for $25
If each rider does this successfully, we will collectively raise $16,000 for Cystic Fibrosis in just 9 days. That’s a pretty significant contribution towards finding a cure for this disease.
Thanks again!

requirement
As far as I understand it, raising a minimum (what is it? $150'ish??) is a requirement. If you don't raise the set amount, they charge it directly to you. So def not a "free" ride... it will require some work, unless I misunderstand how it operates.
The fundraising requirement
The fundraising requirement is $165.00. She is waiving the registration fee for this week. I didn't mean to imply that the ride entire ride was free. Correct...if it was totally free it wouldn't be much of a fundraiser.
got it
I am a retard. I should have figured that out first. Will get started on it.
Sign up in person
If you want the free registration you need to sign up in person, by fax, etc. If you register on the website it will charge the $25.00 registration fee.
email too
She'll email you the paperwork also.
