Display MoreThere is truly nothing more special then having a Star or a family member ride with you
Last year I was lucky enough to have this little lady ride with me. She lost her brother to brain cancer and listening to her tell me how much she missed her best friend made it hard to drive and choke back tears - hell I'm getting a little misty as I look back at these photos now.
Today, I'm not asking you to contribute your personal money to @DKF Texas, @EjFord, any of the other members who give to this outstanding charity, or even to my donation page.
Instead I want to ask you to have a conversation. A couple of quick questions and a few minutes of writing (I'll even help you with the writing if you need it). If you still work i want you to ask your boss if they do charitable giving - if they make donations to deserving foundations. If they do, you just need to ask how you get an organization considered for a donation - it's usually a form with 5 to 10 questions and once you get that form, I will help you fill it out if you want help.
You say you don't want to ask your boss or maybe your retired. No worries - just ask the same two questions of a business you do business with.
Does it work - yup, sure does .... I asked those 2 questions and answered a few questions on a form and not long after I got an email from Mary Moore the Director of Philanthropy at the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation thanking me for getting my employer to donate $1,500 this year. If I can do it, then there should be nothing standing in your way of getting your employer or favorite local business from standing up to help end brain rumors in kids.
Thanks for your time - hope to hear that you need my help filling out a donation request form or that you didn't need my help and got one or two forms submitted
I have twisted a lot of arms over the years Georgia and I have been working with the Ride for Kids....generally they twist pretty easy. The PBTF is a 501C charity so all donations can be deducted with no problem... I have the number for those who might need it.
