Trekker Information & Fundraising Resource Packet

Welcome to Trek Tri-Island. You're one step closer to a glorious three days riding around the San Juan Islands this September.  We're glad you'll be joining us this year!

While you're enjoying your cycling weekend, you will also be supporting the vital work of the American Lung Association®. Our programs help clean the air, prevent children from starting to smoke, and help people with asthma and other lung diseases breathe more easily.

A minimum of $500 in donations is required before you ride. Last year, on average each trekker raised $800 and from there, it's not far to our Winners' Circle incentive level. We reward excellent fundraisers with special incentive prizes, so set your goal and go for it!

Thanks for choosing to receive your Trek packet on-line. This will save resources and printing and mailing cost for the American Lung Association® of Washington.

The following information is available:

Team on Trek

Recruit 3 and Ride Free
Invite three people who have never ridden Trek before to join us and when they turn in their $500 fundraising minimum, you'll receive a fundraising credit of $500!
