Lincoln Charities Fundraiser June 12, 2016

.

Here we go again ….. The 4th annual (ish)
Day in the Dirt for Lincoln Charities is on!

.

When: Sunday June 12th, 2016*
Event: Tidewater at Eastover hare Scramble
Where: Spring Grove, VA
* Rain Date: this is it.

On June 12th, 2016*, Bob Stephenson (lead tech @ Inman Park Apartments) will be competing in an off-road motorcycle race in Spring Grove, Virginia in an effort to raise money for Lincoln Charities, a 501c3 charity which serves Lincoln Property Company employees and their families in times of need. Their mission statement says it best:

Our mission is to serve our employees and their families in times of need, distress, or tragedy. We are dedicated to the purpose of inspiring hope and restoring welfare through the generosity of our employees, residents, and business partners.“

This year, we will be racing up in Virginia in the VCHSS  (Virginia Championship Hare Scramble Series – check out their killer 2016 promo video ) Tidewater at Eastover Hare Scramble. This is an event we’ve run once in the past, claiming a finish that, well….frankly we’re not all that interested in bragging about (maybe we’ll get a little redemption this year). The exact course length for 2016 hasn’t been announced yet, but we expect total race mileage for those finishing on the lead lap to be right in the 30-mile range.

So, the two questions I’m sure everyone has on their minds right now are:

1 – Just what the heck is a hare scramble?

Ok, here’s the Wikipedia definition; and here it is from a racer’s perspective.

2 – So, where does the fundraising part come in?

Glad you asked 🙂 You may pledge a certain dollar amount per mile for every official mile that Bob completes during the race, up to a maximum of 30 miles. Or if you prefer, you may simply pledge a lump sum amount.

So for instance, if you pledge a dollar per mile and Bob completes 23 miles, your donation is 23 bucks. If you pledge a dollar per mile and Bob completes 35 miles, your maximum total donation is 30 dollars (based on the 30-mile maximum). Of course, if you pledge a ‘lump-sum’ amount, your donation will be that lump-sum amount regardless of miles completed.

Your pledge can be any amount at all – there are no minimum requirements – and can be in the name of an individual or your property/company/organization.

To sweeten the deal a little, everyone who pledges will have their name entered for a chance to win a $25 gift card! The drawing will be held after the race is completed. The winner will be announced here as well as contacted directly.

Upon completion of the race, you will be contacted with the official results and the total amount that corresponds to the amount that you pledged. All pledges are expected to be fulfilled no later than 2 weeks after the race (deadline June 30th, 2016).
