IMBA: Last Chance to Support Trails for 2009!
Just got a newsletter for IMBA. If you’re not familiar with IMBA, they are the International Mountain Biking Association. They advocate for the building and maintaining of trails around the world.
IMBA is raising funds to build more trails. They have 50 major projects slated. There were 90 projects up for recommendation but not enough money to do all 90. In partner ship with major mountain bike brands like Trek, SRAM & otheres they’ll double whatever you donate. Donate $100 and $200 will go to building new trails.
Give what you can… even if its only $10. Think of this way, with $10 you can buy a shovel for use on IMBA trail work projects.
Here’s the full newsletter I received..
Dear Mountain Tread,
IMBA’s 2009 Trailbuilding fund is still going strong. We’ve had a great response so far, but still need your help!
Act now and see your donation doubled. Help IMBA fill in the map below with trails you’d love to ride …
IMBA wants to bring world-class mountain biking opportunities to your area. This year we will build more than 50 projects in dozens of states. That’s good news!
The bad news is that more than 90 projects were considered for 2009, but not enough funds were available to build them all.
We need your support — Donate now and your contribution will double!
That’s right, every $1 you spend immediately becomes $2!
Companies including Trek Bicycle Corporation, SRAM and Quality Bicycle Products will invest at least $250,000 in a dollar-for-dollar match for your donation.
On top of that, IMBA leverages partnerships to turn your donation into miles and miles of new trails!
As part of our mountain biking community, we need your support to help build successful trail systems. You can’t leave it to someone else. We need every land manager and every elected official to embrace the benefits great trails bring to communities like yours.
Donate to the Trailbuilding Fund today!
See you on the trails,
Mike Van Abel
IMBA Executive DirectorP.S. If you’ve already donated, thank you so much for the support. See you on the trails!
