430 Women Riders
$107,000 Raised for Breast Cancer Research
On Saturday
September 6, 2008
We made a difference!
The unofficial consensus from our riders is that Hope on Wheels indeed gets better every year! "I love this ride!" is the comment of the day. Hope on Wheels jerseys, with matching smiles, are the number one outfit.
Friends came together yearly to make for large crowds, raise great amounts of money in our fight against breast cancer, and firmly establish cycling as one of the best activities for women to share. No matter what your fitness level, there is a place for you on Saturday, September 12! Our thanks to our star participants, our volunteers, and our sponsors! Hope on Wheels team work annually makes for a perfect day of cycling for all.

Easy Automated Fundraising (With a Personal Touch)
Use "Sponsor A Rider" to enable your supporters
to contribute to Hope on Wheels on-line!
We know fundraising can be hard, but let the HOW100 website make it easy. Our top fundraisers in prior years have used the on-line Sponsor A Rider function in the HOW100.org website as the number on means of easily collecting their contribution dollars. Click here to see HOW it works!
HOW100 riders on the Natchez Trace Parkway
Corporate sponsors insure the success of the HOW100 by making commitments in cash or product for our ride.
What does this mean to you as a participant?
It means all expenses of the event have been more than covered, so 100% of your registration fee and fundraising will go directly to research.
Each year prior to registration opening, the Hope on Wheels Team asks corporate sponsors to contribute cash, goods and services to ensure that the minimal expenses of our cycling event will be fully covered. In each year since our inception, our expenses have been a very small percentage of the initial corporate contributions. All corporate monies in excess are directed to breast cancer research, along with the dollars of participants' registration and fundraising. In 2008, we collected over $20,000 in cash and greater than $10,000 in products and services for Hope on Wheels.
Be sure to take a minute to note the names of our generous supporters and remember to say thank you
when you have an opportunity.
