Donate Now / Sponsor a Rider          

We rely on the goodwill support of people like you. Our goal this year is to raise $220,000, which would bring our total raised by FCBA to $900,000 – but we won't be able to do it without your help! Also, keep in mind that the money is not about the cyclists – the funds we raise go to support the more than 50 ongoing Fuller Center projects around the world. Join over a thousand others who have supported the Bicycle Adventure. Give now.

Corporate Sponsorship

Our corporate partners play an important role in supporting this trip, and in return we offer a means of publicity across several states and a means of spreading goodwill in the community. Different sponsorship levels may include your company's logo on the official bike jersey, the support trailer and even our printed promotional materials.

Take a look at our Corporate Sponsorship Levels and Benefits page.

Also check out our Meet our Sponsors page to see who's helping out.

Become a "Bike Adventure Ambassador"

One of our biggest assets in growing the ride and our movement is to simply let people know who we are and what we do. You can help spread the word by inviting your friends to our Facebook page, contacting local cycling clubs and service organizations, and hanging posters or leaving brochures at local colleges, churches, bike shops and coffee houses.

As we develop other ideas and tools, we'll pass them along to you. You might even brainstorm a few yourself. Email bike@fullercenter.org to request to join our list of ambassadors. We look forward to hearing from you!

Communications/Multimedia Internship

Want to gain valuable communication experience and travel the country for free?

Each spring and summer we look for individuals to accompany us on our trips that will document the journey and tell our stories through videos, blog posts, photos, social media, etc. They'll also help build local connections by contacting key media outlets along the way. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone looking to gain some hands on experience in the multimedia and communications field.

Spreading awareness is one of the main purposes of the ride, which means this person will play a very important role in the overall success of this trip! If you're interested or would like more information on this position, take a look at this job description, and please send us an email at bike@fullercenter.org!

Apply to Join Support Staff

In the right situation, we are open to having someone join the trip as volunteer support staff. Opportunities may include driving the support vehicle, serving as bike mechanic, serving as a cook/meal preparer, following along for general support with an RV, etc. The support person is responsible for their own vehicle expenses should they drive their own vehicle. Know that you would be loved and appreciated!

We're still looking for a volunteer to drive our support vehicle on the summer ride.  Interested? Read this job description and contact bike@fullercenter.org.

Organize an Event

If you live along the way, or have close contact with someone along the way, consider planning an event while the Bicycle Adventure is in town. Whether hosting us for dinner, inviting us to speak at your church or civic club, getting a bunch of riders together to gain sponsorships, bringing out the media or just joining us as we come through town, you can help us make the most of our time on the road this summer. 

Please check our schedule first and contact us for approval before planning any event.

Involve Your Bike Club

If you're connected with a cycling club, you can really be of help to us. Let the other members know about the different ways they can be part of the ride. Come as a team to join us for a day, a segment or even the whole adventure. Also, simply helping us choose the best route through your area is a tremendously useful service.

Other Ways to Help

Pray for us. Post encouraging comments on our blog. Host us along the way. Send us food. Tell your kids about what we're doing and why. Share our blog with your co-workers or friends. Help us obtain corporate gifts (like gift cards for food), gifts-in-kind (like spare tires), or cash gifts to help us build homes. Ask your friends to donate. Write posts about the ride on Facebook, Twitter or your personal blog. You can also check out even more ways to get involved in the ministry of The Fuller Center.

Whatever you do, we thank you!
