beginning

I wish to announce that I’ve been selected to participate in the Journey of Hope this summer. The Journey of Hope is an annual bike ride sponsored by Push America. The bike ride travels from San Francisco to Washington DC with the goal of serving and raising awareness for people with disabilities. Beginning in June, I will serve on the crew for the bike ride and have preferenced the south route as this will give me the opportunity to go through the most states that I have not yet been to.

One of my obligations in order to participate in the Journey of Hope is to raise money through sponsorship for Push America. My fundraising goal is $3,500 and I have already raised $650. My hope is that you will consider making a contribution to Push America on my behalf so that I can participate in the event this summer. Find out more information about Push America and the Journey of Hope by visiting their web site at: http://www.pushamerica.org/events/JOH/ You may visit my online fundraising profile from that site.

Sponsorships may be made one of three ways:
1) follow this link – you may use a credit card with this method
2) send a check made out to “Push America” with “Erich Hayes” in the memo to: Push America; P.O. Box 241368; Charlotte, NC 28224
3) send a check made out to “Push America” with “Erich Hayes” in the memo to me at: Erich Hayes; 650 S. National Avenue #2; Springfield, MO 65804

Push America is recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization so all contributions to Push America are fully tax-deductible. If everyone contributed just $15, I would reach my fundraising goal. If some of the people receiving this contributed $50, I would more than exceed my goal. I hope that you will consider making a contribution to Push America on my behalf.
