The Details
When: Friday, November 29th, 2024
Where: The Bike Lab, Oklahoma City
Event Overview:
Bring your competitive spirit and join us for the annual Black Friday Ride-Day to support Bike Club OKC! Team up, secure pledges/donations, ride hard, and raise funds to empower young riders in our community. Bike Club OKC is powered 100% by grants and individual donations. With the program running in two new schools (7 total), and more planned, this year’s fundraising goal is $20,000! As a reference, this covers about ½ the cost (bikes, helmets, storage container, etc…) to launch a new school. Thank you in advance for your support!!
How It Works (for Donors)
Four Teams (4x4 = 16 Riders): Cycle 66, Oklahoma Bicycle Society, OKC Velo, Team Staplegun will each select four riders.
30-Minute Rides: Each rider will ride on a bike trainer for 30 minutes, accumulating as many miles as possible.
Team Mileage Total: At the end of the fourth rider’s session, we’ll tally the total team mileage. Teams will likely hit somewhere around 40 miles. An individual pledge for $2/mile will result in an $80 donation.
Fundraising Format
Pledges and Flat Donations: Teams will secure pledges and donations, either as a flat amount or as pledges per mile.
Pledge Example: If a team collects $160 per mile and rides 40 miles, they will raise $6,000!
Prizes
The team that raises the most money wins a weekend getaway to Bentonville, Arkansas, including:
