Cycling the Blue Ridge Parkway
Imagine cycling the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Whew! U.S. military veterans John Buford and Rich Clarke, members of the Veterans History 探花精选鈥檚 Advisory Committee, will pedal 469 miles to support the 探花精选. Cyclists will share progress daily through their social media posts.
With your help
With your help via donations (small, medium or large), together we will raise money to support the museum鈥檚 mission to honor veterans, educate citizens, and preserve our history. From June 25 to July 1, Buford and Clarke will bike the parkway from the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to Cherokee, North Carolina.
We invite you to pledge 10 cents or more per mile traveled. The mileage of the team member who rides the farthest will be used to calculate your donation at the end of the ride.
Option 1: You choose to donate any amount of 10 cents or more per mile cycled.听 Examples: If you pledge $1.00 per mile you will receive a request to send your tax-deductible check to the museum for $469.
– Twenty-five cents per mile would equal $117.25, etc. You decide鈥攖he sky鈥檚 the limit!
Option 2: You may pledge a fixed amount not based on mileage.
To make a pledge, email mjrobertson@comporium.net and state your:
1) Full name
2) Amount pledged:
鈥 Per mile, or
鈥 Fixed amount
To make a donation now in lieu of a pledge, 听补苍诲 include the comment BIKE RIDE with your donation.
You will receive a request for payment after July 1.
We thank you for your generosity and your support of veterans!
