DEAF CYCLE ACROSS USA
Pick a way you can help us raise awareness and funds across the United States!
1. Cycle with us!
This is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to cycle across the USA in Summer 2014 and meet fellow Deaf along the way! We will be raising awareness and funds for The Deaf Dream by cycling to up to 12 Deaf schools across the nation starting in Oregon and finishing at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC.
Although we hope a majority of our riders will be Deaf, we have spots open for hearing riders as well who know sign language. All cyclists are required to do an internship starting in January 2014. These internships are voluntary and can be completed online. Interns will help map out the course, find sponsors, and contact the schools we will visit on our cross country tour.

2. House, feed, or invite us to your school!
We will be cycling over 4,000 miles from Oregon to Washington, DC. We would love to come speak at your school and inspire your students to reach for their dreams!
Rather than stay in hotels and eat at nice restaurants, we are searching for home stays and food sponsors. If you would like to help, internships are available starting in January 2014. These internships are voluntary and can be completed online. Interns will help map out the course, find sponsors, and contact the schools we will visit on our cross country tour.

We welcome any services you can offer our crew!
3. Sponsor us!
Our goal is to raise awareness and funds during our massive journey. This is no small feat, especially considering the costs for food, gas, transportation, and hotels for the nights we don't have home stays. We could really use your help!
In exchange for your help, we would love to wear your business or organization logo with pride! We will be portable, attention-drawing billboards. Any Deaf person will tell you, attention is what we get too much of when we start signing!
Our site will be regularly updated with videos from the trek that can include your logo as well. Don't miss this opportunity to spread your business name across the nation while empowering Deaf across the globe!
