First off, a big THANK YOU to all who supported us on the bike ride and pledged a donation to the UW Baltic Studies Program!!! If you haven't pledged yet, there's still an opportunity to do so.
Preliminarily it looks like over $10,000 was raised by our collective efforts.
The ride for me was 3,420 miles. Officially the route was 3,415 miles but there were about 5 miles of missed turns, getting lost, etc that directly benefited the Program. Hope nobody minds!
If you pledged per mile, the math works out as follows.....
1 cent per mile - $34.20
2 cents per mile - $68.40
3 cents per mile - $102.60
5 cents per mile - $171.00
10 cents per mile - $342.00
and so on.....
And for the mathematically challenged, your lump sum pledge/donation will be gladly accepted as well!
Checks should be made out to "UW Baltic Program Fund" with a note/comment "Napa bike benefit". If the donor's name(s) and address is different from what's printed on the check, please add a note.
