There's still a great deal of support out there for SMB. Starbucks (Eastside and Downtown) recently became our Mega-Sponsor for the second year. This year they're pledging even more--$350. Remember, the Mega-Sponsor is all or nothing. We'll have to hit a certain number of miles total to raise this money from Starbucks. Please RSVP as soon as you can and spread the word. We plan to have close to 1,000 participants this year.
As mentioned previously, Bend Pet Express became our first Diamond Level Sponsor at $350. They're involved in a lot of other ways to be announced soon. This is also a pledged donation, meaning we have to hit an even higher total number of miles to earn all of it. But this one isn't all or nothing. If we come up short, we raise a percentage of the amount pledged.
All of this will be much easier to understand at SMB 2014. Part of the fun of SMB is everyone working together to raise as much money as we can for Pilot Butte. Last year we just barely earned the entire amount. This year the stakes will be higher (more money available) and it will be that much more fun. Other big sponsors are in the works, so stay tuned ...
Btw, Carol was back on the Butte yesterday after an extended absence. She had a great time and plans to be up there as much as she can while still spearheading our fundraising efforts. Look for her and other board members who will have brochures and RSVP cards for SMB 2014. They'll all be wearing large green "SMB 2014 Information" buttons.
