Tom and I wanted to say thank you again for making United by Design so successful this year! Can you believe it has already been a month since the BikeMS weekend? I hope you have had time to rest, recover, and maybe work on your fundraising goal! If you aren't interested in the numbers, skip down to the details of the team Happy Hour Tom and I are planning for October 25th at Llywelyn's in Webster.
This Friday, October 14th, is the deadline for you minimum goal of $250. Just a friendly reminder that if you do not raise that amount, you will not be able to sign up for next year's event without first paying 2011's $250.
At the moment, as a team we have raised just over $11,000 - good job team!
Sheila Miranda is our fundraising champion with $2,110 raised to date! Way to go Sheila!
I have tallied up all the funds we raised at the Breakfast, the Triumph Happy Hour, and all of the money left over from our sponsorships. The numbers work out so that everyone will get money towards there fundraising goal even if you could not make the Breakfast or the Happy Hour. I will be making a donation to the MS Society and they will be splitting up the funds to everyone. Here is the break down of what you will be getting towards your fundraising goal:
Just for being part of UbD: $21
If you attended the Happy Hour: $49
If you helped out with the Breakfast: $60
12 people will be getting $130 towards their goal for attending all of the UbD events! Thank you all for your time and effort to raise money for the MS Society!
Once that donation is in, we will have raised close to $14,000!!
If you are not sure how much your will get, feel free to e-mail me and I will let you know what you will be getting. I hope it can help a lot of the 19 people who have yet to raise the $250. If you need more help, please let Tom or I know as we have had people volunteer to share their portion with people who need help to raise the funds. Fundraising is a team effort!
10/25 Happy Hour
To end the 2011 season properly, Tom and I would like to plan one more Team Happy Hour. Tuesday October 25th we will all meet up at Llywelyn's in Webster starting at 5:30. We will reminisce about the 2011 season and then start talking about how great 2012 will be for UbD! Tom will be sending out an Evite shortly, but mark it on your calendars.
UbD Running
One last note - United by Design has been so successful as a Cycling Club that we are branching out into a Running Club starting November! We will be looking for 5K's, half marathons, and full marathons to run in for different charities. If you are a runner or are thinking of becoming a runner, please e-mail me back and I will add you to the list. Greg Frankenfeld briefly offered to help "coach" us into shape and I will be working with him to work out more details - so stay tuned! I will only e-mail the people interested in running though, so be sure to e-mail me back if you are interested!
See you all Tuesday October 25th!
Jessie
