Fundraising / Non-Profit Opportunity

HELP SAN PEDRO AREA SCHOOLS, NON-PROFITS & THE HISTORIC CABRILLO BEACH BATHHOUSE!

Your school, team, club, organization, non-profit can earn/raise money by providing participants to the event! Just e-mail or call, telling us what organization you're fundraising for, and we'll get you on the road to making money on the San Pedro Waterfront - without working on the docks!

The proceeds from the event benefit many area non-profits, including the run's destination: the historic Cabrillo Beach Bathhouse (www.cabrillobeach.org) serving area sports and recreational activities. The event will help pay for programs that are not funded by the state or City. With increasing state budget cuts in 2005, these schools face additional programs that may be eliminated or reduced. Specific allocation of funds are at the discretion of each school's PTA or Booster Club.

OTHER WAYS:

• Help raise more money for the cause and get your friends, family and co-workers to sponsor other participants.
• Raising money for one or more organization by submitting entries also adds that extra motivation to keep you training and strive for a great performance on race day.
• Send emails out asking others to support you or your group.
• Recommend a company to help sponsor the event

If you decide for some reason not to run, walk, ride or skate on September 2, there are many other ways to join the vibe on the Waterfront. Why not volunteer with the ION® Bridge to Breakwater®? It's likely to be one of the most rewarding experiences you'll ever have. From individuals to community groups, there's always a place for another fresh mind and helping hand at the ION® Bridge to Breakwater®. Dozens of volunteers are needed this year.

Office volunteers assist the ION® Bridge to Breakwater® staff with event mailings, pre-event prep work and general office support.

Event day volunteers assist the ION® Bridge to Breakwater® staff with registration, t-shirt distribution, monitoring the route, refreshments and more!
