- Running Total: $1,200 (Now you’ve already raised your minimum!)
Week 4:

Week 5:
- Ask three more co-workers to donate (minimum donation of $25 each) = $75.
- Ask your boss for a company contribution = $50
- Check with your company's human resource department to see if they offer matching gifts (which could double the original donation amount).
Week 6:
- Ask one person you meet for the first time this week for a $25 donation (great way to get the word out about the ride too).
- Ask five neighbors to sponsor you (minimum donation of $20 each) = $100
