​Tuesday Tip: 🔥Turning up the Heat on Fundraising🔥
Mamma Jamma Tuesday Tips!
Helpful Tips for Fundraising
The 2023 Texas Mamma Jamma Ride is coming up in less than 50 days on Saturday, September 16th in Taylor, TX, and this year’s fundraising efforts are on fire! Remember that each adult rider must raise a minimum of $350 to be eligible to ride on Ride Day.
Meet the fundraising minimum and receive a T-Shirt, rider medal and partiipant packet loaded with goodies, along with a yummy lunch from MIXTAPE, a beer from Texas Beer Company, a pink lemondate cocktail from Tito's and live music by Garrett Pekar – plus our famous Mamma Jamma spa towels, vendor booths, games, and more! Raise $1,500 or more and be a Mamma Jamma Big Wig and earn special Ride Day perks like VIP parking and free massage, along with the exclusive 2023 Big Wig Jersey. Teams that raise $10,000 or more get a designated Team Tent for gathering, photos, and relaxing after the ride.
Running behind on fundraising? Don’t fret! We have tips to get you going!
1. Personalize your fundraising page with your photo and tell your story about why you are riding. Here’s a handy reference to get you started.
2. Donate to your own fundraising page and share your fundraising link with your friends, family, and co-workers and ask them to support your ride and match your donation.
3. Connect your Facebook page to your Classy fundraising page and watch the donations roll in. The average rider will raise an additional $150 more just by connecting their Facebook page to their personal fundraising page. Follow these step-by-step instructions to get started. Remember to re-share your Facebook fundraiser every few days.
4. Check with your employer about a matching gift program at your company and encourage your donors to do the same. Remember to direct matching funds directly to Lone Star Circle of Care (EIN 74-3001674) and designate for the Texas Mamma Jamma Ride. Matching funds received by Lone Star Circle of Care for Texas Mamma Jamma Ride will be credited to the fundraiser responsible for the gift.
Big Pink Bus: Life-Saving Mission
The funds you raise 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.
As we begin year three for the Big Pink Bus service, Lone Star Circle of Care remains committed to increasing breast cancer screening rates among underserved and uninsured Central Texas women. That’s where Mamma Jamma riders come in! The funds you raise keep the Big Pink Bus rolling and bringing mobile mammography services to our Central Texas neighbors who need it most. Early detection saves lives!
The Big Pink Bus will be at the Mamma Jamma start/finish line and makes the perfect background for your ride-day photo!
