Sponsor Me for a day!
$70 Day Sponsorship
Choose whichever day of the trip you want to sponsor for just $70.00. For your sponsorship you'll get your name on this website: on the mileage counter (coming soon) and the trip schedule, a donor t-shirt from bike and build, and a call from me on your sponsored day (assuming I can get cell phone service or to a pay phone, and that you want to hear from me).

Sponsor an Entire State!
Platinum State $1200 (CO)
Gold State $700 (NC, TN, AZ)
Silver State $300 (OK, AR, CA, KS)
I've set up these donation levels as bench marks for people or corporations who might want to give more. You can sponsor the entire ride through a state with the donations above! I'll put your company logo across the top of this website, and remember it's all tax deductible.

Online Donations
You can donate online through Bike & Build's website, but paypal takes 2.9% of the total donation, a $0.30 transaction charge, and they will be unable to send you t-shirts, or postal letters recognizing your donation. But if all that doesn't bother you then please:
