We have launched our 2026 campaign to support Bike East Bay – you know, that worthy organization that promotes bike lanes and bike safety in the East Bay. This is one of two organizations that our club supports, and they rely heavily on donations. Please give as generously as you have in the past. And, of course, we welcome contributions from new members as well as new or increased contributions from old members.
To donate online and have your gift credited to the VeloRaptors matching fund, go to the Veloraptors giving web page and complete the special VeloRaptor donation information. Or if you prefer to donate by check, download and complete the special VeloRaptor form attached to this email.
Bike East Bay is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and your gifts are fully tax deductible. In addition, some of us older VeloRaptors (70+) use our Individual Retirement Account’s qualified charitable distribution (QCD) process to donate directly to organizations like Bike East Bay. Giving in this way means your gift does not count as income to you. If you have any questions about this process, contact your tax advisor.
