OFFICIAL CHARITY PARTNERS

If you'd like to use your Princess Promenade effort to raise money for charity, please review the list of Official Charities below and contact the one(s) that interest you.The Official Charity Program for the 2008 Princess Promenade is an excellent way to make your participation even more meaningful and to motivate you when the going gets tough. Through this program, local and national charitable organizations use the Promenade events as a platform to raise money for their organization and to increase their profile in the community. Walkers and cyclists are encouraged to support the charities by raising per-mile pledges from friends, family and co-workers. Some Official Charities hold fund raising events at their designated Comfort Station on the Princess Promenade course. Among the group of volunteers lining the 32 mile route along the American River Parkway Bike Trail are a large number of people representing the Princess Promenade Official Charities. At each of their stations, their energy and inspiration proves highly motivational to the cyclists, particularly those who have been moved to raise money for any and all of the worthwhile charitable concerns detailed below. We believe all Princess Promenade participants contribute to a worthy cause by improving their health. Be Your Own Cause, so you can help others learn to help themselves.
