• Download a pledge sheet and sign people up to sponsor riders.
  

1. Have your organization support the Bike Ride as a Co-Sponsor. Any way that your organization can contribute/support would be acceptable.
2. Assist with promotions and media coverage, including publishing an announcement of this Bike Ride in appropriate newsletters and mailings.
3. Provide a link to our website (www.rangzen.org).
4. Ride with us for any part of the route.
5. Sponsor a rider. Ideally, we want more Tibetans on the ride then Westerners. The core group of riders will be about 10 people. Any Tibetans that could be sponsored for all the ride or parts of the ride would be appreciated. We also welcome sponsorship of Westerners who could ride for any part of the route. We estimate that it will cost about $1000 to sponsor a rider for the entire time. This includes the cost, for instance, of a bike, van rental and fuel, food, and other living expenses.
6. Sponsor meals for the riders each day ($10 per rider or $100 for all the riders each day).
7. Ride with us on April 10 and also April 24 to celebrate Gendhun Choekyi Nyima's Birthday and raise awareness of His detention for the past nine years.
8. Assist with recruiting high profile individuals (e.g., Monks, Nuns, entertainers, authors, scholars, religious leaders, government officials) who would be willing to ride part or all of the route (e.g., a day, weekend).
9. Arrange housing (floor space is definitely OK) along the route for about 10 people.
10. Arrange presentations at educational institutions and/or community groups along the route.
11. Contribute $1 for each day of the Bike Ride.
12. Coordinate your own Peace Ride for Tibet's Independence--even a one-day event.
13. Contribute 50 cents (U.S. currency) for each mile of the Bike Ride or $300 (600 miles).
14. Contribute any amount of money you can afford.
