LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR 
THE PRE-RIDE DINNER
GET YOURS NOW!!
 
As promised, we've made some big changes to the Pre-Ride Dinner!

Thanks to the generosity of the Sea Salt Lobster Company and the dedication of the Saco Bay Rotary and The Ballpark, we will be offering a good old fashioned Lobstah Suppah! (Welcome to Maine!)  Don't worry if that doesn't appeal to you, we will also offer a chicken breast or veggie burger, and kosher hot dogs for the kids.

The event will be held on Friday night, September 11th at 6:30 PM at The Ballpark at Old Orchard Beach.  Tickets will be limited to 350 and expect to sell out quickly.  They will NOT be available at the gate.

In order to be good stewards of the money we received from sponsors, we must charge a small fee of $10 per meal for REGISTERED CYLISTS and REGISTERED VOLUNTEERS (no charge for children under 12 who are happy with a hot dog.)  Guests Tickets are $15 and will be limited to one per cyclist or volunteer. Your ticket price helps cover the venue, entertainment, your choice of entrée, plus clam chowder, corn on the cob, coleslaw, potato salad, and iced tea or lemonade.  Beer and wine will available for purchase. 
 
IF YOU HAVE NOT YET REGISTERED TO RIDE OR VOLUNTEER, PLEASE DO SO HERE BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THE DINNER!


GETTING READY TO RIDE!                           
 
  • Tune up your bike!
  • Purchase spare tubes and other necessities
  • Check your helmet
  • Eat well and hydrate
  • Train, train, train (that means get out and ride!)
Please take a look at the cyclist checklist under Form and Flyers to make sure that you and your teammates are ready for a safe and
fun-filled day!  Remember, this is a ride, not a race. 
 
The only thing we are racing toward is 
A CURE FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE!

PLEASE READ - THIS IS IMPORTANT!

 

WHAT DO I DO WHEN I RECEIVE CHECKS IN
ADDITION TO MY ONLINE DONATIONS?

  • Checks should be made out to The Michael J Fox Foundation (or MJFF).  If you receive one made out to the New England Parkinson's Ride, please write "Payable to MJFF" on the back of the check.
  • List YOUR NAME AS THE CYCLIST then list all checks with the donor names and addresses on the MJFF Donor Tracking Form
  • Make a copy of the checks and form for your records. 
  • Mail to the address on the form OR BRING IT WITH YOU TO THE RIDE IN A SEALED ENVELOPE WITH YOUR NAME AND TOTAL AMOUNT WRITTEN ON THE OUTSIDE!
  • Team Fox will credit these to your Personal Page once received and processed...which is a much slower process than we would like.  
  • Keep an eye out for these donations to appear on your personal fundraising page.  If they do not show up within 3 weeks, please contact Cindy (Woods) Theberge at [email protected].
