\"Give<\/a>In case you might have forgotten, tomorrow on May 6 Washington Bikes will participate in one of the largest charity events in the Northwest: \u00a0GiveBIG<\/a>, a 24 hour online philanthropic event. Please set an alarm on your smart phone, write a note in your day planner, or tie a string around your finger–anything to remind yourself to make a gift to grow bicycling safety, education, and outreach in Washington. You can GiveBIG right here<\/a> when the clock strikes midnight!<\/p>\n

GiveBIG 2014<\/a> provides an opportunity for the Puget Sound region and surrounding communities to give generously to over 1500 non-profits that are making a difference in our community and quality of life. Between midnight and midnight (PDT) on May 6, each donation made will receive a pro-rated portion of matching funds from both The Seattle Foundation and multiple GiveBIG sponsors. The amount of the match will depend on the size of the matching fund pool and how much is raised in total donations on GiveBIG day.<\/span><\/p>\n

We encourage supporters of our mission to grow bicycling in Washington State and create a more bike and pedestrian friendly landscape to make a donation on May 6! To learn more about our programs and current need, visit Seattle Foundation\u2019s \u00a0Washington Bikes Donation Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
