I'll be doing the JAM Fund Grand FUNdo for the 5th time this year. It's really an amazing ride and I'd encourage you to do it if you happen to like riding bikes. But it's also the primary fundraiser for the team this year and I'd like to do a little more for them. They have proven results in Stephen Hyde, Ellen Noble, Jeremy Durrin, Anthony Clark and a host of others. And every person I've met on or with the team is a top notch human being. The team turns out great humans who can also ride a bike well.
With that In mind I'm trying to raise some additional funds for the team. This is not money for me, this is money that goes straight to the team. I'd donate it now myself but I like to keep those funds in reserve for cross season when some of the JAMers have acute needs. I'd consider it a personal favor and I thank you for it. $5 is very generous, I know everyone has a lot of competing demands on their hard earned dollars. But I also know JAM Fund will make your money go very far.
Thanks for reading.
JAM is a registerd 501c3 organization created in 2003 by Jeremy Powers, Alec Donahue and Mukunda Feldman, good friends brought together through their passion for cycling. JAM's mission is to help motivated, young cyclists to reach their potential on and off the bike, while helping remove the financial barriers that can limit success. We accomplish this through close mentoring, volunteering and engagement in the cycling community. We distribute grants to young riders who show interest, determination and desire to be their best. It is also our goal to showcase the incredible cycling that the Pioneer Valley offers. Every dollar raised through the Grand Fundo goes directly to the JAM Fund's development program. By becoming a fundraiser, your contribution will help us continue to make an impact and help the riders fulfill their dreams. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at the Grand Fundo!
