The Focus on the Family staff is not only praying for your success on the trip, but also praying that we will encourage you in your sponsorship endeavor. We trust that the following information will be extremely helpful as you gain support for your trip with the National Bike Ride for the Family. Make a list of as many friends and family members as possible, as well as people from work, church, clubs, neighbors, etc. Share your story . Believe it or not, we all have a story.
People are always interested in personal stories.
Write a letter explaining the goals you have set for yourself, the event and your involvement, the ministries that will benefit from the funds raised, and the people those ministries will affect. Take a look at a sample letter to help you. Send a copy of a fact sheet on Focus on the Family, or a brochure so the sponsor can see for him or herself what we are all about. Include a sponsor form and an envelope addressed to Focus on the Family. You might even want to supply a postage stamp on the envelope.
