Hear from current EMC members!
Don’t just take it from us, here’s what other Ride EMC and EMC Silver members have to say.
“My favorite part about being EMC Silver is the Peloton and the start of the Ride. It’s such an honor to be a part of this group of passionate riders/fundraisers, it’s so moving to launch from outside of Roswell Park, and so touching when we raise the cards with patients’ names up to the windows. While we can never really see them, but knowing that they are there looking down on us is so powerful.” – Rob Goldberg
“Getting donations for my Ride for Roswell was easy. Not because I am a supreme fundraiser or have extreme skills. It was easy because of the person I am riding in memory of, Jean Marie Gimbert, my sister-in-law. Her passing last year impacted a large family and huge circle of friends. Jean only saw the best in others and a kind word was her trademark. So, all I had to do was let a few people know that I was riding in her memory and they could go to my page and donate and we watched the donations accumulate. When you ride for someone you care about enables you to access a variety of people they touched in their lives. The family, friends, and employment network are a good beginning. Neighbors are an often-untapped resource.” – Peter Pasnik
Worried about fundraising?
No problem! Your Ride Community is here with advice.
“Social media makes it so easy now, even if you just share a link to your fundraising page and post about what you’re doing, that’s a great start.” – Gabrielle Acosta
“Push your fundraising through social media. I have raised all of my funds through Facebook and have pivoted around my birthday and other special occasions. Just ask often – it works, and you’ll be successful!” – Rob Goldberg
“What you find out is a lot of people have either had their own experience or family experience with cancer, and people want to help. It’s actually a lot easier than you realize as soon as you start putting yourself out there and letting them know about the cause. Remind people. Remind people. Remind people.” – John Heimback Jr
