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).

Now you have raised enough money for a jersey and other great ACT items!
