Al and Sue Diefenbach (ACRES members) invite you to participate in a Pedaling for Preserves Challenge by matching their $50 donation.
All Friends of ACRES, please join in to support ACRES and show appreciation for Jason and Kevin’s ride across America.
100% of pledges and donations will go toward ACRES’
land acquisition and management activities and are tax deductible (as allowable by law)!
We are seeking sponsors to help offset the costs of the riders as they both will be on unpaid leave of absences and have made a significant financial investment in this trip. Sponsorships opportunities include equipment donations or discounts, or donation of gift cards or pre-paid cards to be used for lodging, meals, pain medicine for aching muscles, etc!
