We are excited to share that one of our local supporters has given CentreBike a tremendous gift to kick off our new year: an endowment of $50,000, held at Centre Foundation.
We are so thankful to our donors, Blake and Linda Gall, for their support of our efforts to improve cycling in the Centre Region. This gift is transformational for a small organization like ours. It will allow us to have a small, steady funding stream on top of our regular donations and membership dues.
Where does the money go?
- To grow support and increase impact for efforts like the Regional Bike Plan, the 4 ft. pass law, and the Bike-Friendly Community standards – which help people to feel safe, educated, and confident travelling by bike.
- To cover insurance for our family-friendly rides, like the annual Bike with the Mayor or our proposed Open Streets events, that encourage our whole community to participate with biking.
- To host events – with signs, handouts, and a physical presence – like Winter Bike to Work Day and May Bike Month, that increase positive awareness and participation for biking as transportation and recreation.
- And more – website hosting fees, incidental expenses, bike racks, awards, .. anything that supports a more bike-friendly Centre Region.
