Each Pathfinder and Adventure has a pledge form to write down your commitment when you sponsor them. Please support our kids as they strive to be more like Jesus. It is mandatory that all Adventurer parents be at this event. As you know, our annual bike-a-thon is an important fundraising opportunity for our Pathfinders. Last Sunday we sent home sponsor sheets with your Pathfinder(s). As in prior years we ask that you please work with your Pathfinders to help them obtain a minimum of 5 sponsors. We are encouraging sponsorships to be flat amounts (not per mile) that can be paid at the time of sponsorship and turned in at the bike-a-thon. Please bring your completed sponsor sheets and sponsorship funds to be turned in at the event. We are in need of volunteers to help man our refreshment area, bring refreshments, and assist in recording the Pathfinders' miles. The refreshment area will be set up at the Sunrise trailhead on S. Hollywood Blvd. along the bike path. It will also be the place where we will end our event and your Pathfinder can be picked up. Please go to our online sign-up sheet to let us know which shift and what refreshments you can help with by typing this link in your URL: https:// signup.com/client/invitation/6775657374/1672253/false#!1672253/false/false We're looking forward to a great day outdoors riding in God's nature!
