So what’s this website for?

February 1st, 2007

So why do we need a website for a once-a-year event? And why do we need our own? Well, this site is our fundraising point person. We as an office have a goal of raising $25,000.00 for charity this year, and this site is going to be one way we’ll do it. In addition to keeping you posted on how we’re doing at reaching our goal, we’ll also show you pictures of the badass jerseys Lisa designed for us to wear in the ride, with the logos of our sponsors prominently displayed.

How prominently displayed? Well it depends on how generous you get. Just like real estate, marketing is only about three things: location, location, location. The more you give, the bigger and better your location on our jerseys will be. For a large enough donation, Jeff has promised to get a tattoo with your company’s logo across his entire back and ride shirtless for the whole day!

Okay, that was a joke. He’ll only tattoo a bicep. But we are designing custom jerseys for our whole team to wear, and they will feature our sponsors prominently. And this site will also feature those sponsors, as a way of saying thanks for caring.

Because your donations are what this site is all about. That and the stories. If you’re giving money, or riding in the event, let me know why. Tell me what it means to you. Tell me who you’re riding or donating for, or what has inspired you. Because the more personal the stories, the more more it matters. And the more it matters, the more money we can raise to fight this stupid disease.

Team Booty ‘07! Barbizon rides again!

January 27th, 2007

Hey there and welcome to Barbizon Charlotte’s 24 Hours of Booty site! We’re once again going to take part in the 24 Hours of Booty charity bike ride in Charlotte, NC in July.

Yep, you heard me right. We’re going to ride bikes in circles for 24 hours straight. In Charlotte, NC. In July.

Yep, we’re nuts. But we’re nuts for a good cause. The 24 hours of Booty ride raises money for two specific cancer charities, the Lance Armstrong Foundation (the yellow bracelet people) and the Brain Tumor Fund of the Carolinas. Both of these organizations are dedicated to raising money to support people with cancer, to make their lives easier and to encourage them in their recovery. We’ve all been touched by cancer in one way or another, and this cause is personal to all of us.

So we’re going to put on our stretchy bike pants, our helmets and our funny shoes, along with our custom racing jerseys, and we’re going to ride the Booty Loop in Myers Park for 24 hours and put our butts on the line (literally!) to join the fight against cancer. As this site grows, you’ll meet our bicycling team, our corporate and individual sponsors, and learn more about the 24 Hours of Booty ride.
