A big thank you to all 52 of our donors who got us to 66%! Even though we didn't completely hit our goal, the money raised will cover a significant portion of the trip. We're looking forward to representing Tucson and Arizona at the national level in a few weeks! Stay tuned- we'll have lots of exciting updates from the final two conference races! BEAR DOWN!
To quote Bon Jovi, "Wooooah, we're half way there!!!" 50% there- a 10% growth in just ONE day- unbelievable! Great things are possible when a group of people come together behind a cause. I am confident this will be the best road nationals for our team in years- all because of your support! Keep sharing, retweeting, and posting our the donation link- you're a part of our team now and teamwork makes the dream work.
We've blown past the $2k and 40% mark and have $3k as our next target! Thank you for getting us this far! We're so excited to see the support from our family, friends, and community rolling in! Your support will help us offset travel costs, entry fees, food, and other parts of the trip. Competing in a national championship is the type of experience that can help push athletes to new personal bests. Additionally, the hard work and dedication required to do well spills over to a rider's work and personal life. These are the riders who will be movers and shakers in their future communities and jobs. Our campaign ends on 4/4, so we're hitting social media and our e-mail networks to remind everyone about the trip. Like, share, and retweet our campaign link to spread the word!
We've broken through the 25% wall today and we're on our way to our next goal: $2,000! We're so excited about the support we've received from our community and honored that you believe in us. As we say on the team, "Teamwork makes the dream work" and your support is helping that dream become a reality. And don't worry, we're out training hard to get ready for nationals- it is only 7 weeks away!
We've done it! We've reached $1,000 ($1,210 to be exact) and almost 25% in just 4 days! The momentum for our campaign is growing and we're so excited!
A #throwbackThursday for you today from the vault: our last national title on the road came in the men's team time trial in 1996. Fast forward twenty years later...will 2016 be our year? With your support it very well might be!
We've been blown away with the support we've received in the first three days! We can't thank our donors enough- with your support we are well on our way to sending our team to nationals! Every donation makes a difference and helps offset some costs associated with the trip. Most importantly, it helps the team represent Tucson and the UA on a national stage and create memories that will last a lifetime. Attending a national championship can be the highlight of an athlete's career and the dedication required to succeed can be the foundation for life long skills outside of the sport. We're honored to have our alumni and community supporting us! It adds to the motivation to be at our best for the event! Let's keep the momentum rolling on our campaign- you can help out by sharing the link and talking to other alumni you rode with during your time at UA. Bear Down!
