2011 Community Partner Program

Request for Proposal

The Cardinal Track Club (CTC) is a non-profit organization based in Carrboro, NC that is dedicated to promoting fitness in our community. We are accepting proposals from non-profit organizations that provide services and/or aid to residents of Carrboro and Chapel Hill. CTC’s main fundraising effort is through the 3 race series, Le Tour de Carrboro, that attracts more than 2000 runners annually. The 2011 race dates are:

Four on the Fourth on July 4
Carrboro 10K on October 1
"Double B" Gallop & Gorge 8K on November 24

CTC will select 4-5 Community Partners to share the proceeds from the 2011 race series. The selection of Community Partners is based on what the organization will do with the funds, as well as a firm commitment to supply a minimum of 12 volunteers for each of the three races. The volunteers will need to

Provide their own transportation and mobile phone
Wear a volunteer t-shirt with their organization's name on it
Arrive at the race site at the time assigned by CTC’s Volunteer Coordinator (typically around 6:30 a.m.) and remain until the race is over and cleanup is complete. Total volunteer time is usually about 4 hours.

Your proposal should include a description of

Your organization
The services/aid your organization provides to the Carrboro/Chapel Hill community
How these funds will benefit your constituency

Please limit your response to 1-2 pages and send it no later than March 30, 2011 to Eric Paul, President of the Cardinal Track Club: letourdecarrboro@gmail.com
