Riders wanted for Team Cape Cod Beer.

The twentieth annual Last Gasp will be held September 18, 2011.  Come join us in one of Cape Cod’s quintessential fundraising events which features a 62 mile bike ride along beautiful Rt. 6A from Sandwich to Provincetown, an hour long Cape Cod Bay cruise aboard a Dolphin Fleet ferry boat, and a traditional Cape Cod clambake with all the fixin’s. This event incorporates so many things that are good. It’s athletic, very social, and ends with an incredible feast of lobster, clams, corn, chowder, and chicken. If you take part, it will prove to be one of your most fun days of 2011.

This is a Charity Event.  It’s primary purpose is to raise money for 7 local charities! Each rider is REQUIRED to raise a minumum of $500 to ride.  We ask that Team Cape Cod Beer members attempt to be a BIG WHEEL ($1,000 or more!)  Last year half our riders were BIG WHEELS (12 out of 25…amazing!)..and as a Team we raised over $27,000…add that to the party..and Team Cape Cod Beer raised close to $35,000…with some members raising as little as $500 and some as much as $3,500.

Last night at the Last Gasp 2010 Check presentation, the final numbers were revealed.  LAST GASP 2010 raised a record breaking $344,000 for 6 local charities! Team Cape Cod Beer came in second place raising $34,900!  Which is an AMAZING number!   Team Cape Cod Beer received two additional awards:

1. The Edgar Hebert Award for the largest team (25 members) 
2. The Karen Fuller Award given to Jacob Marcus as the youngest (under 18) Big Wheel in 2010 ( at age 12).

“Big Wheels” are people who raise more than a $1000, and there were plenty of those from Team Cape Cod Beer there last night.  Overall there were 80 big wheels in 2010…another record breaking number!    One gentlman, Nick, raised $21,000 himself – a true inspiration.  He reminded us all that most people want to give – and all we have to do is ask!

Thank you to hard working members of  Team Cape Cod Beer, who collectively raised about $24,000, with an additional $10,900 coming from the LAST GASP BEER BASH.

SPECIALS THANKS goes to Peter Kelly – El Capitan!  who recruited many riders and donors.  Peter is the driving force behind cape Cod beer having a team – so thanks Peter!

LAST GASP 2011 is scheduled for Sept 18th 2011.  We’ll be looking for riders and fundraisers..remember you do not have to ride to participate!
