WHAT IS THE LAST GASP?
 
The Last Gasp is a three part, day long, fundraising extravaganza intended to help raise money for several diversified nonprofit organizations headquartered on Cape Cod and the Islands. The day consists of a 62 mile bike ride, a Cape Cod Bay cruise following the ride, and an authentic Cape Cod clambake to end the day.
 
TO WHOM DOES THE MONEY GO?
  • Cape Cod Child Development
  • Hospice & Palliative Care of Cape Cod
  • Kiwanis Clubs of Hyannis & Sandwich
  • CHAMP Homes/The Housing For All Corp.
  • Cultural Center of Cape Cod
  • Cape & Islands United Way
These are some of the MOST "local" charities - doing wonderful work on Cape Cod for many years!
 
<====  For more info click on their logos to the left.
 
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
You have 3 options:
  1. Join us and ride in the LAST GASP as part of TEAM CAPE COD BEER.
  2. Participate in our upcoming Brewery BBQ fundraiser.
  3. Make a donation on behalf of TEAM Cape Cod Beer.

See below for details on all three options.

 
OPTION 1: JOIN TEAM CAPE COD BEER
This is the most noble of all three options. 
 
To become a member of Team Cape Cod Beer you will be required to:
  1. Raise $1,000 in donations for Team Cape Cod Beer. 
  2. Be willing (and able) to ride the 62 mile event.  That's it!

For your dedication you get a Team Cape Cod Beer bike shirt (with cool team Cape Cod beer logo), a ticket for the fundraising BBQ and our un-ending gratitude.  Plus the satisfaction of knowing that you have raised money for great local charities....and are able to bike ride from one end of Cape Cod to the other!      

If you can not even imagine riding all that way- but really want to participate, they do have what they call the LAST GASP BUS BAKER - which for $60 you can sign up to ride the bus to Provincetown and then boat back to Sandwich...this also includes participation in the Pasta Salute and the Clam Bake at the end!  To signup for this click here.  To be an official member of the team (ie shirt etc) you would still have to raise the $1,000 on behalf of Team Cape Cod Beer - even if you choose not to ride!  If you can "bring in the money", we're happy to have you on our team!

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN OUR TEAM PLEASE CALL BETH AT 508-790-4200 ASAP!

OPTION 3:  MAKE A DONATION ON BEHALF OF TEAM CAPE COD BEER!
 
In the end, every fundraising effort must eventually end with "THE ASK". 
 
So, if you can't ride and you can't come to the party, we ASK that you consider a donation.  We have a "fishbowl" on the counter at the brewery - if you want to toss in a check or a couple of bucks the next time you come by for a growler fill - that would be great!  
 
If you want to send us a check, please make it out to The LAST GASP, and send it to Cape Cod Beer - 1336 Phinney's Lane Hyannis MA 02601. 
If you would like your donation to be designated to any one particular charity (listed above) - please note that in the memo field. 
 
If you would like to donate ONLINE please click here  Just remember to note Team Cape Cod Beer in the notes section of the checkout page.
 
Hopefully you will be able to help us out in one of the three ways noted.  We know its been a tough year for some - and we understand that.  But for the rest of us, please know that it has also been a tough year from these local charities who do good work in our community.  They appreciate all the help WE CAN GIVE!!!!
 
 
Cheers,
 
 

PS: I will leave you with this wonderful photo of Peter Kelly (Captain of Team Cape Cod Beer) at the start of last year's race.
