Mark your calendar for this year’s Day of Giving: Tuesday, October 4

The Day of Giving 2011 is on Tuesday, October 4, 2011 from 12:00 a.m. ET until 11:59:59 p.m. ET.

Never been a member?  Need to renew? This is a great opportunity to have your donation matched and go even further!

All charitable donations made to Bike Pittsburgh through PittsburghGives.org on Oct 4 will receive a portion of The Pittsburgh Foundation’s matching pool. PLUS, we lined up an additional match from a generous private foundation donor so that we will be able to match your donation dollar-for-dollar up to a total of $5000! Last year, Bike Pittsburgh ranked 8th out of over 400 organizations in terms of the number of donations (as opposed to the amount of money donated).  We were astounded by the grassroots support, and this year, we aim to go even higher! Spread the word and help us get even more people donating for the first time to Bike Pittsburgh, and help us unlock the additional $5000 match!

Visit PittsburghGives.org to find out how you can make a donation on October 4th that will directly fund the development of bike lanes, installation of bike racks, printing the Pittsburgh Bike Map and Bike Commuting 101 Guide, fun events, and even the development of bicycle-friendly policies for the City of Pittsburgh.

If you need to renew your membership through the end of this year, or are not yet a member, give on October 4 through pittsburghgives.org and your Bike Pittsburgh membership will be honored. Or if you’re a member in good standing, please consider giving an additional gift to help us expand our efforts.
