- Parallel is Riding to Conquer Cancer in 2011. Help us in the fight.
- Having participated in the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer as a humble two person team, we were quite moved to witness the impact that this event has on everyone touched by cancer. Last year alone the event raised over $9 Million. This experience has inspired us at Parallel Group, for the second year in a row, to do what we can to conquer cancer once again in 2011, but this time on a much grander scale. We have embarked on a journey, ending in June with a 250km bike ride through the Pacific Region from Vancouver to Seattle, to elevate our joint contribution through building a much larger team. But we need your help and we ask that you work with us in building this team and inspiring other riders to join the cause.
In exchange for your sponsorship, we are providing advertising/recognition. Each of our corporate sponsors will have their name on our team website, and depending on the sponsorship level there is the opportunity to get your corporate logo on our new team jersey! The highest sponsor level, Platinum, will be able to recreate our jersey to be in their corporate colours (instead of Parallel’s).
To participate in the sponsorship program, online donations cannot be accepted. Please contact our team captain, Haley, by phoning the office, or email via info@parallelgroup.com for more information or to make a contribution. Due to printing and production time requirements for the team jerseys, our deadline for corporate sponsorships is FEBRUARY 10, 2011. We would be happy to accept donations after that date, but will not be able to provide space on the Jersey for those sponsors.
We sincerely thank you for your consideration in helping us on our journey. With your help, we can all do our part to conquer cancer!
