Pedal Partner Giving for Cycle the WAVE
Our Pedal Partner Giving team has been busy putting together exciting new fundraising incentives for you this year.   Ideas to boost your FUNdraising efforts might include:
  • Bake Sale - take goodies to work and display them in the break area. Add a personal note and information about Cycle the WAVE with a donation jar.
  • Casual Day - Ask the boss to support a "Casual Day," in which employees can dress casually for a day with a $5 donation to your Cycle the WAVE fundraising efforts.
  • Garage Sale - Gather your friends and family's unwanted items and have all proceeds go to your Cycle the WAVE fundraising goal. Get kids involved and also host a lemonade stand!
  • Dinner Party with Auction - ask your local businesses and/or friends to donate items and then host a dinner party with silent auction. It's fun with friends for a great cause!
  • Matching Gifts - Ask friends who make donations to look into their company's matching gift program. Their gift could double!
