To whom it may concern,

On June 6, we're riding our bikes across America to raise money for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Sacramento (BBBS). We'll begin our journey in San Francisco and arrive 28 days later in New York City. We've been looking forward to this exciting and challenging commitment since before our involvement with the BBBS. With our cycling experience, our drive to support an exceptional and worthy cause and the mission of BBBS creates an opportunity for us to support the children in our community.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters BBBS mission is to help children with a limited family upbringing and to help create opportunity for a brighter future through successful one-on-one mentoring relationships. The Greater Sacramento chapter serves children in Yolo, Sacramento, and Placer counties. Through the years of BBBS's existence (over
100 years nationally and over 40 years locally) there has been an overwhelming positive impact on these children's lives.

Our commitment is to raise $10,000 for the BBBS and we're asking for your help in accomplishing this goal. We'll ride over 3,000 miles in less than thirty days across the Rocky Mountains, through the Great Plains, and onto the far end of North America for our community's children. We ask that you kindly support us with your 100% tax deductible donation for this very worthy cause. Every dollar that we raise will go directly to BBBS and will be used to match children from single parent homes to a caring adult mentor. It takes $1,000 to support a match for one year, so our $10,000 goal will positively impact the lives of ten children. Please help us make this positive contribution to our community!

Enclosed you'll find a donation form and a self addressed envelope. Please send your donation prior to May 30, 2005. However, donations received after this date will still be gladly accepted. Thank you in advance for your participation and support.

Sincerely,
