Dear [insert name],

I have joined The Revolution, a cycling adventure through Sonoma 
County to benefit participants in the Bay Area Outreach & Recreation 
Program (BORP). On October 6th, I will be riding [10, 25, 65 or 100] 
miles on Sonoma County’s picturesque back roads along with BORP’s hand 
cyclists and visually impaired riders, who are now training and 
fundraising for the event.

I have agreed to raise [insert goal] in support of BORP’s sport and 
adventure programs.

BORP is a non-profit organization that fosters the health, independence, 
and social integration of youth and adults with physical disabilities 
through sport, fitness and recreation programs. Nationwide, high school 
students with disabilities have a 30% dropout rate. In sharp contrast, 
100% of BORP’s high school participants in the past decade have graduated. 
Nationwide 70% of adults with disabilities are unemployed. Again, in sharp 
contrast, 70% percent of BORP’s adult participants have jobs. BORP’s 
programs are helping individuals with disabilities gain skills that lead 
to success in school, work, and life.

[Insert two to three sentences about your experiences with BORP, why you 
are participating in the Revolution.]

I hope you are able to support my ride by making a tax-deductible donation 
of [insert amount]. If so, please go to my personal fundraising page 
[insert URL], to make a secure online donation. You can also send checks 
payable to Bay Area Outreach & Recreation Program to: BORP, 600 Bancroft 
Way, Berkeley, CA 94710. If you would like to join me for the ride (which 
includes a gourmet wine-country buffet,wine-tasting and free massage), or 
if you want to learn more about BORP, go to their website: www.borp.org and 
click on the “Revolution 2007” link. If you want more information about my 
participation in the Revolution, please contact me at: [insert email] or 
[insert phone number]. You can also contact BORP directly at (510) 849-4663 
or revolution@borp.org.

I hope you will join me in promoting healthy, active lifestyles for people 
with disabilities.

Together we can re-define disability.
Thank you,
[Your name]
