Fundraising Tips, Matching Gift Programs
Does your employer have a 'Matching Gift' program?
Are you looking for the easiest and most efficient way to have your contributions be made directly at the Matching Gift website?
As an SAP employee for example you can make your employee contributions directly at the Matching Gift website (www.easymatch.com/SAP) and the match can be confirmed automatically in one step . Matches and employee gifts go out monthly.
If you would rather the contribution go to the organization directly, you will still have to go to the site and request the match and the MS Foundation will have to confirm the gift was made. This is certainly a slower process and could be up to three months, assuming the organization confirms the gifts.
For SAP employees, contributions over $50 are eligible for a corporate match through the SAP Matching Gift Program. To double your difference, please log onto www.easymatch.com/sap and select Dollars for Dollars -> Submit a New Request -> Cash/Check/Credit Card -> Select 'National Multiple Sclerosis Society' as the Organization.
When you submit your request, please insert EVENT NAME, EVENT DATE, EMPLOYEE PARTICIPANT ID in the Purpose Line.
Good luck fundraising!

Team News
Since our two year agreement with supporters (Thanks to IDS Scheer, RWD, IBIS, Workflow One, Avaya and T-Mobile!) is running out, we are currently consolidating activities with the SAP cycling community in Palo Alto to coordinate charity events on a national basis and to use one SAP branded jersey for all SAP cycling enthusiasts.
We are trying to secure funding from SAP and other supporters for new jerseys.
So far we have a verbal commitment from two corporate supporters. If you have any contacts, suggestions for funding, please comment to this post!
We are also looking for a new Team Captain – any volunteers, please comment to this post!
Over the next two weeks we'll consolidate registrations to make sure we have only ONE Team SAP for the 2010 City to Shore ride.
Let's drive team membership in August for all the fall charity rides, and target to sign up 150 team SAP members!
See you at one of our next group rides - 'Upcoming Events' section on the left.

Team update
100 degree weather - the summer is here.
Bill made that official when he inhaled a bug during one of our recent weekend rides.
Given the high temperatures, Team SAP has started to accomodate some much needed 'rehydration stops'. The usual places are Four Dogs Tavern, Main Street Manayunk or just Uli's house where you are invited to watch the Tour de France after our rides.
Endurance is strong: especially our frequent riders like Frank, Juan, Bill are getting in better shape by the week. John is mostly winning the sprints as usual. Rumor has it that he has switched to the favorite cream cheese brand of Mark Cavendish...
Also worth mentioning are the track events in nearby Trexlertown. Check out schedules here. It's really fun to watch!
We always look for more riders, so come join us.
