May 18th, 2-4 PM, Boise
During District Celebration (Conference) in Boise, May 18th, we will be hosting a Ride to End Polio, 2-4 PM, raising as many pledges as possible to rid our planet of polio!
Where: Downtown Boise, Center on the Grove Plaza, steps outside of D5400 convention center!

Who: Rotarians / non-Rotarians recruited to be on a Team...people who can ride a bike for 5+ minutes. Maximum 20 Teams; first-come / first-serve! Deadline for Team Registration: May 1st, 2019
What: All Rotary Club Teams agree to have a minimum of FIVE riders who will ride, a minimum of five minutes May 18th, 2-4 PM. All bikes need to stay in motion at all times (OK, 1 min. transition time for seat adjustment is fine).
How:
Creating a Fund-Raising Page!
Each Team Captain will create ONE, unique Team Fund-Raising Page with ONE goal ($$$) amount through RI website. All Riders use that Team Name (example: Boise Metro Polio Pedalers), to solicit pledges from family, friends, co-workers, etc.
Donors can pledge online as soon as your Team Pledge Page is created and shared.
Teams are encouraged to wear festive / thematic bike riding attire...there are awards for these things! Wear tennis shoes or SPD cycling shoes, shorts, etc.
Day of event: Team members will meet at 1:45 on Center on Grove, ready to ride. Teams determine order of riders and how long each rider will pedal; five-minute minimum ride time. Riders can come and go as they want. The more people there CHEERING and COWBELL RINGING, the more ENERGY and FUN!
Team riders will gather as many pledges (online, checks, cash) as possible before and day-of ride, May 18th. Teams raising most money (online and day-of) by 5 PM May 18th will be recognized at evening Rotary dinner ceremony as Winners. Awards for Best Outfits / Most Enthusiasm, etc. will be given as well.
Pledges will be accepted online until May 31st; High-Pledging Team will be recognized again June 1st
