PIKE Bike
Dear Friend,Please join us in our third annual Bike-A-thon to benefit the Musclular Dystrophy Association. The fundraiser, which is held in front of the Milton S. Eisenhower Library of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, will involve brothers of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity riding a stationary bicycle continuously for a total of twenty-four hours. The event will begin at 12 pm on Friday, April 15th and will end at 12 pm on Saturday, April 16th. While biking, student arts groups and bands from the Johns Hopkins University will provide entertainment for spectators and sponsors of this highly- esteemed event, Johns Hopkins Spring Fair.
Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is the nation’s largest funder of scientific research seeking cures and treatments for 43 neuromuscular diseases. Your support of our upcoming Pike Bike fundraiser will help close to 1,800 local children and adults living with one of many challenging neurodegenerative diseases covered under the MDA umbrella. Proceeds from your donations will enable the Muscular Dystrophy Association to continue providing vital programs and services to local families that reside in Maryland and Southern Delaware. MDA offers assistance with clinic visits, a week long summer camp, numerous support groups, and continuous hope through research. Your support will come a long way in improving the lives of many today and in the future.
Our goal is to raise $4,000 for this incredible organization and we are confident that we can do so with your donation. We are seeking monetary support as well as food, drinks, or prizes that may be provided to spectators and sponsors during the event. Anything that you can provide will help us to be successful. Your donation is tax-deductible and your company or organization’s name will be printed on the back of a t-shirt that will be distributed to student attendees. Other advertisement options include a company poster and banner presentations during the event.
We hope that you are willing to contribute to the 2011 Bike-A-thon and help the Muscular Dystrophy Association conquer catastrophic illnesses that afflict our youth. Any donation that you could make would be greatly appreciated. Please make all checks payable to Muscular Dystrophy Association. Feel free to take advantage of our online donation option provided by Paypal.
