With a busy Bike Month almost upon us, I (Amy) have been contacting many local and regional businesses requesting donations for our events such as Bike to Work Day and the APAL Bike Rodeo. I’m thrilled to report that we got a lot of generous donations from businesses both new and old, local and regional!
Pat, who runs Tay Tah and Bua Luang, has always been supportive of AS&R – bike on down to Tay Tah during May and get Buy One Get One Free Boba drink (same flavor!)
Pat, who owns Bua Luang Thai Cuisine and Tay Tah Cafe , has supported AS&R for years with lunches and coupons for our event volunteers. She again will be giving us discount coupons for me to pass on to volunteers for our Bike Month events.
Fern donated gift cards for AS&R’s volunteers so check out her shop’s cool bike section!
Fern Solomon of Fern’s Garden gave us some gift cards for hard-working volunteers…and Rob from Blue Heron Bikes will also give surprise gifts to those who help AS&R out during Bike Month!
Thanks, Mike, for donating pastries for our Energizer Station again!
Since 600+ hungry & thirsty cyclists will pass through our Energizer Station, we need LOTS of food and drink! Cathy from Kim’s Cafe (drinks!), Mike from Royal Ground (pastries!) ,
The Mango Mint Iced Tea from Kim’s Cafe is always a hit
Dao from Trader Joe’s El Cerrito (groceries and cups!) and Alexandra from Barney Butter have all pledged AS&R product donations to help make our Energizer Station the place to be on the morning of May 10th. Semifreddi’s is donating freshly baked bread for all of you/us, too, and GU Energy is giving us gels to power our rides!!! Our local Safeway and Sprouts are donating groceries so we’ll have enough for everyone who comes by.
SO YES, WE NEED YOUR HELP IN DISTRIBUTING ALL THESE GOODIES (AND MORE!) TO 600+ CYCLISTS!
Contact Ken McCroskey at kenmccroskey@gmail.com or Amy Smolens at calamari@alumni.duke.edu or leave a comment on this post – THANKS TO ALL!
