Without your support, our bike rally fundraiser cannot be possible! For a donation of $100 or more, your business/organization's name will be printed on our event T-shirts. These T-shirts are guaranteed to everyone who has pre-registered for the Bike Rally and have become collectors items for our participants!

All funds raised at the Bike Rally will be used to provide service and enrichment programs that make a difference to Trap Pond State Park. Monies have helped fund the campground playground, a bike shed and new bikes, along with repairs/maintenance to our free loaner bikes, and fund scholarships to help defray costs to programs, day camps & school field trips for local youth to Trap Pond! 

Because of your support, we're able to help fulfill part of our Mission Statement of following Delaware's commitment to leaving "No Child Inside" and cultivating an appreciation of Trap Pond State Park as a great natural resource for all ages. 

Thank you message with sponsors acknowledgment on a banner, featuring bold text in green, white, and red colors.
