Dear 150 Club member:

First of all: Thank you for the work you do fundraising and—welcome to this elite group. You are a top fundraiser of the highest caliber. And you are part of a special club—a Brotherhood & Sisterhood of believers in the dream. We all believe there is an end in sight for multiple sclerosis and we all believe that our fundraising is important to make that dream a reality.

We’d like to ask you to help us take another big step this year in the 2014 Bike MS Bay to Bay Tour. And that is reaching an elusive goal—for the very first time: The Million Dollar Bike MS 150 Club.

The Bike MS 150 Club has raised over $950,000 in 2013! That is incredible, but we believe that we can do more.

Therefore; we are asking that this year, when you go out and ask for donations, that you give it an extra push…a 10% MORE push. That’s right, committing to raise 10% more than you did last year!

You have that passion; you have the compassion; you have the will to push that number to $1 million dollars to end MS.

To reward your historic effort, if, excuse me—WHEN, we make the $1 million mark in the 2014 MS Bike Ride:

- Your name will be placed on a permanent plaque that will commemorate your part in this ground-breaking achievement, (this will reside at the chapter offices).

- You will receive a “Charter Founder” Bike MS 150 Million Dollar Club patch for your jersey, a jacket or wherever you’d like to proudly show the world that what you did…mattered.

We hope you will take up this challenge. We top 5 riders are committed to the goal and we hope we can all join ranks as one team to make it happen.

All participants raising $10,000 or more will be invited to join us for our Tour of Champions luxurious weekend getaway at La Casa Del Zorro on March 20-23, 2015. Vacation includes a two-night stay and meals.

Can we count on you? Let us know by taking the challenge so that your name can be added to our $1 million Challenge Pledge page on the Bike MS Bay to Bay Tour website.

Thanks again for all you do. We’re in. Are you?

Al Basso #1       Doug Peterson #2       John G. Most #3   Paul Dechery #4 Rona Kay #5

Check out the really cool patch you'll receive for being part of the challenge!
