Our team goal this year is to raise $400,000, which would bring the total raised by FCBA to 2.4 million dollars – but we won’t be able to do it without your help! You can choose to support one of the of riders, or donate in honor of the entire team. Keep in mind that the money is not about the cyclists – the funds we raise go to support the more than 70 ongoing Fuller Center projects around the world and their goal to end poverty housing. Join us in our quest for affordable housing. Give now.
Our corporate partners play an important role in supporting this trip, and in return we offer publicity across several states and a means of spreading goodwill in the community. Different sponsorship levels may include your company’s logo on the official bike jersey, the support trailer and even our printed promotional materials. Take a look at our Corporate Sponsorship Levels and Benefits page. Also check the Meet our Sponsors page to see who’s helping out.
Here’s a list of a few things that we need to make this ride happen. Let us know if you might be able to help us out with any of them – the less we spend on these needs, the more we can spend helping those in need of a simple, decent place to live!
- Tires and Tubes: to fix flats for standard sized road bikes (700×23-25)
- Hydration: Gatorade or other electrolyte beverage powder mix
- Biker Fuel: Grocery store gift cards for national chains, Honey, Coffee, Cliff Bars, Energy Gel, etc.
- Support Van Fuel: Gas Cards for national chains
One of our biggest assets in growing the ride and our movement is to simply let people know who we are and what we do. You can help spread the word by inviting your friends to our Facebook page, Youtube channel, or Twitter, contacting local cycling clubs and service organizations, and hanging posters or leaving brochures at local colleges, churches, bike shops and coffee houses.As we develop other ideas and tools, we’ll pass them along to you. You might even brainstorm a few yourself. Email [email protected] to request to join our list of ambassadors. We look forward to hearing from you!
