The 2010 Tour of Utah

What an incredible week for Utah and professional cycling!  The 2010 Tour of Utah was an incredible opportunity to watch professional athletes challenge the beautiful surroundings of Northern Utah.  teamgive was very active in various points of the week.  We were fortunate to have such wonderful volunteers and support throughout the week.  We want to thank all who participated in the Pedal Power Festival.  We had over 650 participants throughout the week and they were AWESOME!

Thank you to all of the families that participated with teamgive last week.  There are so many ways to share the teamgive message about rare neurological diseases.  The Pedal Power Festival was a fun way to talk about teamgive.

A special thanks to our Pedal Power Festival sponsors – Associated Foods, OC Tanner, Rockwell, Coca Cola, The Bear, Bumble, Ozone Fit, Mountain Orthopedics, 5050 BMX, the Tour of Utah, Xango, and Zions Bank.  What a wonderful group of companies with a focus on the community.

The Big Week

Things are buzzing around the teamgive office this week.  We are looking forward to the big “launch” of the Joe Schmo to Lambo campaign this weekend.  For those of you who do not yet know this is what is happening:

Thanks to one of our incredible partner, Miller Motorsports Park, we are joining the festivities at the SBK Superbike World Championships over Memorial Day weekend.  Friday night is the big kickoff party to be held at the Gateway in Salt Lake City.  The street party will host Rockwell Skydivers, fireworks, live music, the BMX team and, of course, the teamgive Lambo.  The party is open to everyone – bring your kids, neighbors and family.

teamgive is offering up two prizes for this weekend.  The first prize is a ride in the Lucas Oil Stunt Plane on Saturday.  The contest is for facebook fans of teamgive, Maverik and Miller Motorsports Park.  Join all three and be in attendance Friday night.  We will give away the ride around 8:00 p.m.

The second prize is offered by another incredible partner of teamgive – Newpark Resort in Park City.  Newpark is such a generous facility.  They are offering a two-night stay in a luxurious suite along with two entries to an endurance event they are holding in June.  The deal… be the most enthusiastic teamgive volunteer this weekend.  We are always grateful to our volunteers.  Without them, we would have nothing.  So, we are wanting to reward our volunteers with incredible prizes.  Thanks to Newpark for their help in rewarding volunteers.

Joe Schmo to Lambo is going to be a giveaway like no other.  Be sure to check in as we update the site this week with all of the terms and conditions.  Rare neurological diseases deserve a voice.  Let’s give away a Lambo and show the world just how powerful “giving” can be.

teamgive Membership

We seek individuals who are successful in their chosen fields, and ask them to do more than just participate in team events.  teamgive members proactively contribute their time, talents, skills, and effort to serve others directly and through teamgive operations.

teamgive participates in, sponsors, and organizes cycling and sports events.  We do this in a more highly visible, organized, professional manner than typically found at such venues.

teamgive’s operating model assures that 100 percent of funds raised and cash donations to flow directly to the medical research we support.  teamgive administrative costs are covered by the endowment of a primary operating sponsor, freeing all other donations to support fundraising activities and direct donations with no overhead costs.  All donations of whatever type are of course tax deductible.

When teamgive participates, we brings our members in full gear, its support crew, and its vehicles.  All feature teamgive colors, logos, and sponsor images.  teamgive support vehicles are wrapped with teamgive graphics to make the vehicles easy to spot for team members, and to provide recognition for teamgive donors and charities.

In sponsoring events, teamgive provides a range of logistical support, volunteers, and donated materials, as well as awards and prizes.  In events where teamgive is a sponsor, teamgive will usually field a team of its members to participate in the event as well. teamgive donors and charities benefit from teamgive visibility and organized contributions to the success of the selected event.

When teamgive organizes an event we take responsibility for planning, logistics, and execution.  As with participant and sponsored events, teamgive donors and charities will be highly visible.  At teamgive organized events, sponsors and members will have increased opportunities for volunteer work and contributions.
