Title: 2020 Ride for Roswell Donation Solicitation
Post by: Adwinistrator on 06/26/2020 09:45 AM
Hello fellow Geeks!

2020 will be my 4th year fundraising and riding for the Ride for Roswell (https://rideforroswell.org/), an annual bicycling fundraiser hosted in Buffalo, NY.  It all started with 10 mile rides, then 30 last year, and I decided to go crazy and attempt a 65 miles ride this year. :biggrin:

Inspired by the wonderful work of Emerson with the Toys for Tots Auction, I would like to run an auction for this incredibly important cause.

I'm asking you wonderful POTL to donate by turning your extra cigars, lighters, cutters, ash trays, hats, cigar books, and swag into a donation to this incredible organization (https://rideforroswell.org/where-the-funds-go/).  I will then be running a big auction in July so everyone here can snag some goodies that catch their eye, and we can come together for a great cause!

I will also be following Emerson's model by having anyone who would like to donate PM me, and we will coordinate on info/pictures, and I'll have you keep the donation until the auction is complete, so we can all save a few $ on shipping.

QuoteThe funds raised from the Ride for Roswell go directly to the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation, the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that manages all donations to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. This support funds cutting-edge cancer research and patient care programs at Roswell Park.

I'll try my best to run this smoothly!  Let me know if you have any tips, thoughts, or recommendations on how we should proceed.

Thank you,
Ryan
