\"GiveBIG<\/a>
\nIt’s time to\u00a0GiveBIG<\/a>!\u00a0Bicyclists in our state have a lot of victories to celebrate with this spring\u2019s\u00a0passage of the Neighborhood Safe Streets<\/strong>\u00a0bill to be signed into law by Governor Inslee on May 16, not to mention\u00a0Washington\u2019s recent #1 ranking by the League of American Bicyclists as most bicycle-friendly<\/strong>\u00a0state in the nation for the sixth consecutive year. Legislative wins, and building a bike-friendly environment, don\u2019t happen overnight and are achieved with your financial support and willingness to make your voice heard.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that your donation will be matched by a\u00a0stretch pool of matching funds<\/strong>\u00a0thanks to Seattle Foundation and other partners, including Microsoft, Seattle Sounders, and the Wyncote Foundation NW, to name a few. Every hour on the hour from 7 AM-7 PM a\u00a0Golden Ticket<\/strong>\u00a0will be drawn at random from the donations made in that timeframe; each ticket drawn will earn the selected donor\u2019s favorite\u00a0non-profit an additional $1,000 (we hope you\u2019ll choose us!). So your $25 donation could turn into $1,025, just like that!!<\/p>\n

The whole purpose of GiveBIG is to inspire people to donate generously to non-profits that make the\u00a0region a healthier, more vibrant place to live and work. We hope you\u2019ll agree Bicycle Alliance is working on your behalf to make the entire\u00a0state\u00a0<\/strong>better for bicycling, which is good for everyone whether or not you ride.<\/p>\n

ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE:<\/strong>
\n1. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Log on TODAY<\/a>\u00a0to make a donation between 12 midnight and 11:59 PM, and
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Share this information with family and friends (and your boss, if you have employer matching funds!) who support our vision of a more bicycle and pedestrian-friendly state.<\/p>\n

Remember–anyone, anywhere with an Internet connection and a credit card can make a donation of any amount on May 15, GiveBIG day!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Support bike safety and education and help make sure\u00a0Washington bikes<\/strong>! Thank you for all you do to advance our cause!<\/p>\n
