Got a Buck? Save a Bread Truck!

My wife is very good at marketing. She sent this email out yesterday  to some friends and family. I'm posting it here in hopes to drive some random traffic to the Richmond Cycling Corps site and solicit a few donations. There is not a better non-profit in the world. I mean that. Please help if you can!

Hi Friends,

I'm sending this along to you because I think it's a cause you'll find important.  A friend of ours runs a nonprofit organization for kids in under served communities in Richmond, VA and they are in a bit of a tough spot.  If you can do anything to help, however small or large it may be, the organization could use all the help it can get. 

Even if you don't want to or can't donate, maybe you can help by spreading the word around.  I'm hearing that this social media thing could be pretty powerful, so tweet to your friends (and follow @riccyclingcorps), post on Facebook, whatever.

We are trying to get these guys back on the road so they can keep helping kids!  

Details below...

Thanks!

Jill and Landall

We need your help! 

Richmond Cycling Corps is an inner-city program in Richmond that uses cycling as a tool for leadership and character development. They promise their youth that if they stay with RCC, they WILL get out of the projects. 

In order to transport the bikes to the kids they use an old converted bread truck that has recently broken down. Without the bread truck, they simply can't get the bikes to the kids and the program is at a stand still. These kids count on this program! 

Here is a link to some videos about the program: http://www.richmondcyclingcorps.org/video/ 

Here is a link to the local news story about the bread truck situation: http://www.nbc12.com/story/18062724/broken-down-truck-halts-non-profit-kids-cycling-program

Even a donation as small as $1 would help, so if you would like to donate you can do so on their website: http://www.richmondcyclingcorps.org/
