Pedal Power

The next time you or your team heads out for a ride consider the fact that you could be raising awareness and funds for STANDUP FOR KIDS. Consider Steven Blumenfeld in New York who turned his 300 mile bike ride into a fundraiser and with the help of family and friends raised more than $3,000 for homeless and street kids.

Steven’s web page:

He had several others who built similar pages to support his ride. Basically, on one team ride, each team member could have their own page. We’ve found that donors will support family and friends more readily than a team event. It isn’t about the distance, but about the number of donors you can get!

If you or your team would like to do a “bike ride” for us, please send an email to Bike@standupforkids.org. We will help you with the words for the bike ride and then build the web donation pages for the team and/or individual members.

It is best if we have 4+ weeks notice, so that the team members have time to send emails to their family and friends to get the donations before the ride starts. We can help in the creation of those emails too!

So, the next time the TEAM RIDES, help us help America’s homeless and street kids. Let’s make a difference in the lives of kids who live on our streets. We need your help.

STANDUP FOR KIDS

The mission of STANDUP FOR KIDS is to help homeless and street kids. This mission shall be carried out by a national volunteer force whose on-the-streets outreach efforts will find, stabilize and assist homeless and street kids in their efforts to improve their lives. The organization's mission shall also be furthered through deterrence and resource programs provided in schools and via the internet. All facets of this mission shall be guided by the mandate that our volunteers shall tell kids they care about them and then, at every turn, prove it.
