Saturday, April 24, 2010, 10am-Noon @ Easley Elementary School
Our first bike-a-thon is a fun and fit activity for kindergartners through fifth-graders, with all children reaching for their personal best distance. Students set realistic lap goals based on age and development. Each student will receive a token of appreciation for participation in the bike-a-thon.
Our goal is to help the fundraising efforts of the David Turner Lymphoma Foundation, “Big Dave’s Big Gift,” as we raise money to help fund stem cell transplants for adolescents / young adults who demonstrate financial need. We hope that all Easley students will participate in the bike-a-thon to the best of their ability. We hope to make this bike-a-thon the best ever, so that the more contributions students raise, the more successful Big Dave’s Big Gift will be at achieving their goals. Thank you very much for your participation!
1. Students may start collecting pledges as soon as they receive the pledge sheets. Each sponsor making a pledge should write his/her name, pledge per lap, and maximum pledge.
2. Pledge sheets must be brought to bike-a-thon day, Saturday, April 24, 2010.
3. On bike-a-thon day, K-2 students will be able to ride between 11am-Noon, and 3-5 grade students will be able to ride between 10-11am. Each lap is approximately 1/8 mile. A parent is to accompany the child to keep track of the number of laps the child rides.
4. Upon completion of the bike-a-thon, a volunteer will record each student’s lap total on the child’s pledge sheet and return it. Students may then collect outstanding pledges. Please return pledge sheets and envelopes with the money collected to your teacher by Friday, April 30 or Friday, May 6.
5. Students are required to wear helmets while participating in the bike-a-thon. Before completing their laps, students will need to go through a bike check station on site, where their bikes will be checked in several areas, including seat height, brakes and handle bars. Volunteers will assist in insuring that riders follow proper safety procedures throughout the ride.

The bike-a-thon will also feature some other bicycle related activities like Kids’ Bike Relay, Bicycle Obstacle Race, and Slow Bicycle Race. Healthy snacks and juices along with water will also be available. Tickets will be sold on site during the event for 75 cents each. Tickets can be exchanged for food and/or as admission to the other bicycle-related activities. All proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the David Turner Lymphoma Foundation to help fund stem cell transplants for adolescents / young adults who demonstrate financial need. |
