Friends -

The heat is on! The BTA is a strong contender for "the most gifts given" through the Willamette Week's online GiveGuide - and your participation can help push the BTA into first place. It's quick and easy to turn a small contribution into $1000!

The Give Guide (<http://www.wweek.com/giveguide>) seeks to put Portlanders in touch with some of the area's most effective non-profits. When you give to the BTA on the Give Guide website, your contribution supports the BTA's advocacy efforts - and if the BTA gets the most individual contributions, we could win a $1000 matching grant to support our ongoing work!


Give now - the opportunity to contribute ends 12/31/05! The size of your donation doesn't matter, just the total number of donations: $5, $10, or $15 counts as much as a $500 donation for the matching prize: < http://www.wweek.com/giveguide>


With those matching funds, the BTA could work even harder to make kids and adults happier and healthier, decrease congestion and increase clean air, and continue to make our region a national model for great biking.

This is also a great way for your friends and family members to support YOUR commitment to better biking and the BTA - encourage your crew to make a contribution at a level that's comfortable for them. Even a small contribution might make a big difference for the BTA!

Many thanks in advance from your loyal BTA staff!
