Witness the Power of Your Support
This high-energy, interactive charity drive is a chance to witness how your support directly empowers Lowcountry children in need. Ride alongside friends, neighbors and the very children your contributions empower as we come together to celebrate their achievements and progress made throughout the year. By supporting this event, you will help a child start reading at age 10, walk for the first time at age 18 or speak their first words at age 21.

Remember you only need ONE fundraising page per team.
Have your team members all share the same page to reach the $600 fundraising goal to reserve your team's bike.
When sharing to social media, emphasize that KTP is Pattison's BIGGEST fundraiser of the year and the one time you will ask for support!
Ask your friends and families to share your page with their networks to appeal to an even larger audience.
Little goals make a huge impact! Make a specific ask, for example, "If everyone could give $10, that will help me reach my goal!"
Repetition is key! Keep asking, you never know who might see your post.
Change and update your photos regularly to keep content fresh.
Mention and tag those who have given in your posts to thank them for their support!
