This Sunday I'll be participating in a 20-mile bike ride around Lake Hopatcong as part of a fundraising event to support the Lake Hopatcong Foundation (LHF). After the ride I'll be playing with my band Byrdgrass for folks wrapping up their bikes rides, 5k runs, and paddles on the lake at Hopatcong State Park. If you're in the area on Sunday, stop by to enjoy the musical entertainment and what should be a great day on the lake. Let me know if you have any questions about the event or if you’d like to sign up to bike, run and/or paddle. Thanks!
Proceeds for Lake Loop 2018 will go to the Lake Hopatcong Foundation, a 501c3 dedicated to improving Lake Hopatcong for everyone, now and in the years to come.
LHF Lake Loop 2018
CHOOSE your challenge, and DOUBLE your contribution
LAKE LOOP 2018 fundraising donations are MATCHED dollar for dollar through the September 21, up to $5,000!
Join the Lake Hopatcong Foundation for an amazing day of fall activities on Sunday, October 7 at Hopatcong State Park: you can bike (20, 40, or 62 miles), you can run a 5K, you can paddle 2.5 miles, or you can do any combination of activities… plus enjoy live music, delicious food, a photo booth, massages for our participants, and even a beer tent for our over-21 crowd.
What makes a great day even better is that all the money raised by participants helps support the Lake Hopatcong Foundation and our efforts to improve the lake environment and experience.
In addition to the challenges participants face on October 7, Live the Lake NJ has challenged participants to kick their fundraising into gear before the summer comes to an end, with a $5,000 matching donation for money raised before September 22. So although Labor Day may be behind us, the summer season continues… and that gives us 18 days to turn $5,000 of contributions into $10,000, thanks to Lake Loop Sponsor Live the Lake NJ!
So register for LAKE LOOP today, and start fundraising. If you opt to fundraise when you sign up, your registration is free with a $50 fundraising minimum. And, for the next couple of weeks—or until we hit our $5,000 target—every dollar you raise for the Lake Hopatcong Foundation will double.
Bonus: It also means you can get to the $500 VIP incentive level in half the time if you can raise $250 before Sept. 22! What do our fundraising VIPs receive? In addition to the Lake Loop T-shirt, they get a cooling sports towel and goodie bag, a pre-ride bike check from a local mechanic, a VIP concierge with perks such as baked treats, fruits, and drinks, and the ability to jump the line for a massage from our on-site masseuse. Those who raise $1,000 or more receive a Lake Loop cooler, too!
To register, visit LakeLoop.org and select the first registration option: “Bike, Paddle and/or Run for the Cause (FREE Registration with Fundraising Minimum)” and start fundraising to friends, family, coworkers, neighbors… and anyone else you know who wants to support you and Lake Hopatcong.
Make these last few weeks of summer count! Join the fun, support a worthy cause, and help us earn extra money to benefit our beautiful lake.
