At the Harlem YMCA programs such as swim lessons, child care, camping, youth
sports and teen programs do more than just teach skills. The Harlem YMCA also teaches youth to grow to be responsible, caring
adults. Their coaches and staff are positive role models for kids, helping them develop their own leadership capabilities
and realize their potential.
At the Harlem YMCA no child or family is turned away because of the inability
to afford a program. This is why the Running Rebelz are supporting this initiative, to assist in giving another child the
possibility to engage in the benefits of the Harlem YMCA.
With our pledge to ride, we can raise money to help support families to get their
kids off the streets and into quality programs to aid in their physical and nutritional development. We will ride from New
York to Virgina Beach and are in search of donors to pledge a rider any amount from a penny to $20 dollars "Per Mile"
that we ride. All monies will be donated to the Harlem YMCA Strong Kids Campaign.
Here's how to pledge:
400 miles from New York City to Virginia Beach
1 penny * 400 miles = $4
1 nickel * 400 miles = $20
1 dime * 400 miles = $40
1 quarter * 400 miles = $100
50 cents * 400 miles = $200
If you plan to pledge, we ask that you contact us with your pledge per mile amount
and we will add you to our donor roster. We will send you confirmation that we have received your pledge along with more details
about your pledge.
We will be taking pictures of our mileage and of our ride before we pull off,
at various times during the ride and once we reach our final destination to use as a record of our accomplishment.
