Tuesday Tip: Stay Cool During the Mamma Jamma Ride!
Tuesday Tips!
Helpful Tips for Fundraising
We are thrilled that you have registered for the 2023 Texas Mamma Jamma Ride. Ride Day is fast approaching on Saturday, September 16, and we know that the hot temps are on riders’ minds these days. This week’s Tuesday Tip starts with the many ways that we will help you stay cool at the ride this year.
Stay Cool at Mamma Jamma!
Too hot to ride? Not at Mamma Jamma! When you cross the finish line, every rider gets a famous Mamma Jamma ice-cold spa towel soaked in our special blend of essential oils. Each rest stop will be well-stocked with ice, water, hydration product and pickle juice. SAG teams will cover all four routes and carry water and ice to support every rider on the course. There will be ample shade at the venue, where you will enjoy a yummy lunch from MIXTAPE, a cold beer from Texas Beer Company and a pink lemonade cocktail from Tito's while listening to live music by Garrett Pekar. This summer is hot, and Mamma Jamma riders are cool. Tell your friends to be cool too and sign up to ride with you!
Mamma Jamma Virtual Town Hall
Mark your calendar and plan to join us on Wednesday, September 6th, from 6:30-8 PM at our Virtual Town Hall. Marion from Mamma Jamma and Luke from Cadence Sports will be live to answer your questions about Mamma Jamma, fundraising, and how you can support the life-saving efforts of the Big Pink Bus! Meeting link in upcoming Tuesday Tips.
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 pages on Classy to your Facebook pages 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
Participants in the annual Texas Mamma Jamma Ride raise 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 and makes the perfect background for your Ride Day photo!
