Support with Tea: Bike and Build – Across America
April 2, 2012
March roared in giving us 70 degree weather, great iced tea drinking weather, shorts and good biking conditions. Now that the temperatures are back in the 50’s – we are back to good hot tea drinking weather…
Meet Erica Rosset, our new sponsor rider with Tea for Support: Bike & Build. Recently, Erica helped us out big time by creating & fixing some illustrations we needed for our sales team, managed by Leslie Bushby of Hospitality Reps Inc.
What made this work so so unique was that Erica wanted her payment in the form of a donation!
Erica and I got to thinking about how we could create a new revenue stream for her fundraising that would avoid the dreaded ‘fundraiser fatigue’. Here is the link to Support with Tea: Bike and Build. For an extra pledge of $15.00, you’ll enjoy delicious tea, help raise funds AND get Erica in condition for the long journey ahead this summer.
If you would like updates on the life altering journey – please use our contact sheet and put Bike in the subject line. We’ll let you know how to follow Erica.

Each summer, young adults bike from the Atlantic to the Pacific along eight different routes. Along the way, these groups stop at several different build sites and volunteer with affordable housing organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together.
