Life In Motion Fund Raiser

Dear all

 

As you could ascertain from Allegra’s newsletters, things are picking up momentum in our Life in Motion projects. Sboniso is attending a good school, Sphamandla is attending Boston House College, we are putting together Educational starter kits for rural child-care centres etc, etc. The demand for assistance is huge. We believe that, with your help, we can make a difference, one-life-at-a-time. But we need funding for these projects

We are therefore hosting a mountain bike event as fundraiser for these Life in Motion projects. It is our aim to raise R50 000 through this event. To make this possible we need sponsors and therefore this note to you.

 

The event will take place on Sunday 21 June 2009 in the Pietermaritzburg district, venue to be confirmed

The Life in Motion MTB enduro will not be your normal MTB classic. We are planning to do a 5-hour endurance event starting at 8h00am on Sunday morning and going through to 13h00 with prize-giving at 14h00.

 

The route will be approximately 8 km long and the person/team completing the most laps in the allocated time will be crowned the winner. We have hosted many of these enduro events in the past and the response from riders has always been great.  It is spectator friendly where the whole family can get involved.

 

We hope to have 400 riders participating and the entry fee will be R150 per person. This will give us R60 000.

 

We will have the following categories:

•          (1)Solo Men and Women
•          (2)Pairs open and mixed
•         (3)Tri’s open and mixed

Our budget to host this event (no profit) is around R40 000. This includes a 160g long sleeve T-shirt for the 1^st 400 entries. The T-shirt will show the “SPONSORS” and Life in Motion branding and all participants will be able to proudly show that they make a difference “one life at a time”. From the above it is clear to see that we will be around R30 000 short to achieve our goal of raising R50 000. 6 sponsors of R5000 each will provide enough to make the difference we need to achieve our goals. Please be so kind as to consider sponsoring this event. All sponsors will be recognised on the long-sleeve T-shirts, the event stationary (posters and pamphlets) as well as the Life in Motion website.If you have any other branded material, such as banners, etc. it can be displayed on the day as well.

 

To allow time for the designing and printing of T-shirts, banners and marketing materials.

We need your confirmation and logo’s to be submitted by Wednesday 6 May

We thank you for your consideration. Without you this is not possible.
