24 HOURS OF BOOTY: Official 24 hour Cycling event Lance Armstrong Foundation

 

Welcome to my 24 Hours of Booty lens! I hope you will find this handcrafted lens a unique and useful resource for your 2008 24 Hours of Booty cycling event| fundraising experience. I have two goals with this Squidoo lens.

First, Provide YOU with unique, useful and updated information on the amazing 24 Hours of Booty organization, information on what other cyclists are doing and unique ways to energize your fundraising, motivate your team & inspire yourself! Re: Custom Buttons | Buttons of Hope - Putting a face on fundraising | North Carolina

Second, I'd like to introduce my
new company Buttons of Hope for your consideration. I started Buttons of Hope to give people like you a way to put a face on your cause rather than just scribbling a name on the back of your t-shirt -- making it easy to create your own custom photo button to honor a loved one. What if all 1200 Booty cyclists wore a button with a smiling face in honor of a loved one!? What would that look? feel like? [More on Buttons of Hope below]

24 Hours of Booty is the only 24-hour road cycling charity event in the country. The goal of 24 Hours of Booty is to provide an extraordinary event that is safe, fun, and challenging, while bringing cancer awareness to the community and raising funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and local cancer organizations.

So grab a cup of Starbucks coffee (official sponsor) & take a look around and while you're here check out Buttons of Hope and consider making a custom photo button to wear in support of a loved one during your Booty fundraising and at the event!

About michaelgibbons

"A year ago Mike Gibbons had never done any fund-raising. Now he hopes
to change the world" Regan White in "Message in a Button", Charlotte Weekly November 2006.

Upon reading that I was at first taken aback -- not exactly the kind of thing you want to lead with especially if your stated goal is to "change the face of fundraising". But as I thought about it IT IS PRECISELY what I want people to know and now I open all of my fundraising seminars with that line.

Fundraising is not easy nor is it as hard as you might think. I am proof of that and I am out to help ordinary people do extraordinary things -- the task is not easy but the answer is inside of each of us!

I kinda wish Regan had use this opening line instead.. 

"Here's to the crazy ones...because the people who are crazy enough to THINK they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Maybe the combination of the two sums it up -- I have been lucky enough to find a group of remarkable people, my cycling team MojoRiding and together we have become somewhat of a fund raising phenomenon (often in spite of ourselves I might add!) --we raised over $110,000 in 2007 for cancer and multiple sclerosis causes.

So how did we do it? We personalized our cause, we told a story, many stories! And then we took it a step further we made it tangible -- many of us made photo buttons of our loved ones to wear while fundraising -- can't fully explain it but there is just something powerful about these little buttons  --I have seen it make a difference and in some cases all the difference!

I hope you will take a look around (grab a cup of coffee) at what I am building here on Squidoo. I have tried to make unique, useful and updated lenses on active charity events. If you like the lenses then please visit my blog Behind the Button and of course my website Buttons of Hope -- where you too can go on make a custom photo button to wear in YOUR charity event 

The title of the full quote above is THINK DIFFERENT. Regan was right I am out to Change the World by helping people to not only think different but to be different -- it will change you and together we will be the change we wish to see...I hope one button at a time!
