Contributors of fundraising rewards

In 2016 (only), as part of Bicycling Monterey’s first fundraising campaign, optional rewards for financial contributors were provided February 26 through December 31.

The rewards program did not continue in 2017, simply because soliciting, documenting, promoting, and distributing the rewards required far too many additional volunteer hours to make it worthwhile. Nonetheless, we appreciate all of the following for helping us to give it a try!

Scroll down this page for the list of the 95 businesses that provided the optional rewards.
  • On December 22, 2015, ten women launched Bicycling Monterey’s first fundraising campaign, including crowdfunding at gofundme.com/bikemonterey.
  • On February 26, 2016, an optional rewards program for contributors was added on the Go Fund Me platform.
  • On April 13, 2016, due to the Go Fund Me rewards system’s tech glitches and limitations, the rewards were moved to the Bicycling Monterey website (see below).
  • December 31, 2016 was the end-date for Bicycling Monterey’s rewards program. Thank you to those who provided rewards.

Thank you, reward providers!
