so - sitting here sipping coffee - and I'm beginning to sketch out ideas for the line of "TEAM MUFFIN" wear for my participation in the 10th LifeCycle AIDS Ride (June 2011) - figuring that I might be able to make "I'm supporting TEAM MUFFIN" shirts, coffee mugs, mousepads and other muffinernalia for folks that donate to my fundraising efforts. Internet searches under "muffin" for inspirational stuff become VERY quickly - completely and absolutely in appropriateness. The kinds of images that not rather associate with "muffin man" thank you very much.

so - speaking of fundraising - I want to raise $5000 or more here. and encouraging people to "get in on it early" is a great way to reach that goal. The AIDS Lifecycle has a monthly payment plan that makes donating to the ride EXTREMELY affordable. There are ten months between now and the first day of the ride - so you can break you donation down by ten equal monthly payments. How easy is that?

Donation/Monthly Payment
$100 /$10
$150 /$15
$200 /$20
$500 /$50
$1000 /$100

See how affordable and easy it makes creating a tremendous impact on the fundraising efforts of riders? I'm starting off this effort by putting down $1000 of my own money towards this cause. (Which I am paying in ten monthly payments) So Team Muffin starts this effort - ALREADY 20% of the way there right out of the gate!

You can donate in so many ways (monthly payments or one single donation)

GO TEAM MUFFIN!
