Help Me Fight Breast Cancer by Sponsoring My Ride

Tim McElwain Sr. Prelate, MD DE DC Moose Association

Brother Administrators & Officers,
As Prelate of the MD DE DC Moose Association I am asking for your help in sponsoring me in this great COMMUNITY SERVICE project. Please help MOOSE ON BIKES which I am the Captain of the team reach of goal of $5,000.00. Any amount small or large will be greatly appreciated. If you have any members that would like to participate, please have them register via the Web page or contact me. Thank you very much.

As you may know, I am participating in Dick Gelfman's Ride Across Maryland, a motorcycle ride fundraiser that raises money to fight breast cancer.

In the past 7 years, The Ride Across Maryland Foundation, Inc. has donated almost $1.2 million to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, MD Affiliate. In 2007 The Ride gave away a record $300,000. I am hoping that with your support they can break that record in 2008.

I would very much appreciate it if you could sponsor my ride with a donation. Whether donating $5 or $500 your donation is tax-deductible. You can sponsor me online by following the link below to my personal ride webpage.

Thanks for considering this request. Working together, we can all make a difference in the lives of many families.

Follow This Link to visit my personal web page and help me in my efforts to support Ride Across Maryland Foundation, Inc.
