HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? Hard to know but we can guess Final path location still in design – amount of excavation and retaining wall cannot be known Iron benches $1,000 Bike repair station $2,500 Irrigation, landscaping Let’s say $35,000- $40,000 City Engineer confirms that this number is “probably OK”

HOW TO RAISE $40,000 We need to be ready to roll before we can know final costs! Some Ideas Memorial bricks and pavers Naming rights, sponsorships T-Shirts, bike raffle Grants (District 5400, GBRF and others) Bike related events Crowdfunding In-Kind Possibilities

FOR EXAMPLE Do the math: Each club sells 250 profit – $7,500 x 3 = $22,500 Each club is awarded $2,500 Rotary District Grant – $7,500 TOTAL - $30,000!

PUBLICITY AND PROMOTION Kick off when city breaks ground Fun events for Greenbelt users Partner with Joe’s and Riverside/Sand Bar

So what’s next? City Engineers to assist with renderings Meet with Fundraisersltd Research other brick sale projects Meet with Joe’s Crab Shack and Riverside Hotel to determine interest Begin thinking about brick sale brochure Brainstorm other fundraising ideas
