Sponsor a Rider

Welcome to the third annual Ride to Computers and Writing “pledge ride” to support the Computers and Writing Graduate Research Network Travel Awards. Many riders (and one of them could be you!) will ride to and/or roll, run, walk around Computers and Writing 2012 at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina on May 16, 2012. There are several ways that you can help to send a starving grad student to C&W 2012:

  • Become a rider! Join a route or create your own. Convince your friends to ride, too. Register here and we’ll shout it out for our fund raising efforts.
  • Share this site with your friends and beg for donations (see “The Fine Print” page for details);
  • Follow us on Twitter @ride2cw, retweet our announcements to your Twitterverse, and use #ride2cw when you talk about it;
  • Like our Facebook page – Ride2CW –  and invite others to join and donate!
  • Use RideStream* to participate and follow our riders!

*RideStream is a web-based service and mobile application developed for Ride2CW by Bill Hart-Davidson, Mike McLeod, and a fabulous team of undergraduate researchers/developers at MSU WIDE. RideStream allows riders, supporters, and others who may be interested to coordinate their participation in the event.
