Where does the money go?
- Sponsorships enable me to pay for my expenses on the trip
- Charitable donations go directly to Share or the charity of your choice
Charitable Giving: I do not intend to profit significantly from this endeavor. Sponsors who decide to provide cash can be assured that their money will go to supporting the journey or will be channeled to charity. The primary charity that I intend to support is Share, a non-profit organization which serves the homeless and hungry in Clark County Washington. Some money may be channeled to local charities that serve a similar cause as I become aware of them on the trip. Share is an organization that has a superb reputation for delivering services to its clients. 94 cents of every dollar donated to Share is used to support its clients. There is a direct link to Share’s donation page on my website so that people can be certain that their money is indeed going to charity.
As you consider sponsorship opportunities be aware that my journey will take me through the following 26 states:
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
