Mamma Jamma Pre-Party
Join the Texas Beer Company's "The Locals" team on Friday, Sept.15 for an evening of great music from Mark Garcia and delicious food from Lil Nicky's Wings and Things! Texas Beer Company will be selling the special edition Mamma Jamma beer, with $5 of every six-pack going to support the Big Pink Bus. Don't worry, we won't be staying up too late because we have to ride the next morning! Check out the Facebook event for more details.
Fundraising Count Down
Remember that every adult rider needs to meet the $350 fundraising minimum to ride. Meet or exceed your $350 fundraising minimum and enjoy a first-class cycling experience. Be a Big Wig by raising $1,500 or more, and you’ll receive VIP parking on Ride Day, a relaxing post-ride massage, and your very own exclusive 2023 Big Wig jersey.
Teams get perks, too! Teams that raise $10,000 or more through the collective individual fundraising efforts of team members will get a designated Team Tent at Heritage Square. A Team Tent provides a great meet-up spot and place to gather, take photos and hang out after the ride. Visit our website for more fundraising tips and tools so that you can help your team members reach their goals.
Facebook Fundraising
Fundraising is made simple with Facebook Fundraising! Raise an average of $150 more when you connect your personal fundraising page on Classy to your Facebook page and get donations fast! Click here for a step-by-step guide to setting up your Facebook fundraising today!
Big Pink Bus: Life-Saving Mission
This year, Texas Mamma Jamma Ride participants are raising funds to support the life-saving mission of Lone Star Circle of Care’s Big Pink Bus mobile mammography service. The Big Pink Bus addresses the critical need for affordable and accessible mammograms among underserved and uninsured Central Texas women. Early detection saves lives! The Big Pink Bus helps identify breast cancer earlier by providing the latest screening technology to our neighbors who need it most.
The Big Pink Bus will be at the Mamma Jamma start/finish, making the perfect background for your Ride Day photo!
