Bike Around the Bay Fundraising

* After registration, you will have access to a personal fundraising page through your "Participant Center." You can use the "Participant Center" button on the right of the screen to reach the homepage, where you will enter your customized log-in information. We encourage you to bookmark this site for easy reference.

* All fundraising donations are tax-deductible. Online gifts can be made easily through your personal fundraising page. If your collect checks or your supporters prefer to mail checks directly, please ensure checks are made payable to the Galveston Bay Foundation and include "Bike Around the Bay" and your name in the "memo" field.

* Matching gifts from your employer and your supporters' employers count toward your fundraising goal! Because companies often distribute matching gift payments annually or quarterly, we'll add "unconfirmed" gifts to your fundraising page as soon as we receive matching gift paperwork. These gifts will be recognized for fundraising minimum requirements for packet pick-up. If you have questions about how to request or encourage matching gifts, please contact Jessica at jcurran@galvbay.org.

* Offline gifts including checks and matching gifts will be added to your TeamRaiser page within one week of their receipt at the GBF office.

* GBF recognizes top fundraisers through a Fundraising Recognition Program which includes weekly drawings in August/September and overall fundraising awards offered to cyclists raising $250 or more.
