How Can You Help?

 ”If everyone who has heard about us during the Ride Across America alone donated only $1, Hearts Up Ranch would already be fully funded. EVERY donation matters.” – Richard McGrath

 

• DONATE!      Click the Red Heart →

A charitable contribution of any size will be much appreciated, is tax deductible, and will go directly to benefit Hearts Up Ranch. The ride goal is $2 million. Your gift will be used to better the lives of others. Your donation matters.

• SHARE!

Share this epic adventure with all your friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances,  on Facebook , Twitter, or any other social networking site. Let them know about the ride and the vision of Hearts Up Ranch, send them to our website, and encourage them to donate and follow our progress across the country.

• EVENTS!

Suggest Hearts Up Ranch as a ministry that your church or community group can support. We are currently planning ahead for groups interested in hosting a benefit event that the Hearts Up Ranch founders and Cross Country Riders can attend either in video, Skype, or possibly in person.

• ALERT!

Contact media in your area or in towns we are riding through. Please also contact national talk shows and morning shows with this story and encourage them to host us on a show. Please share in your own words your perspective of the ride, how you were part of the journey, how it affected you, etc, as well as the details about the Ride Across America and what Hearts Up Ranch is about. Feel free to copy and paste small portions of this website if you need help with wording. Remember to make the first few sentences exciting to catch the reader’s attention. Check the GoogleMaps link for up-to-the-minute details on our location. Media will publish what their customers want to hear about. Please, spread the word and share in the excitement and adventure! With a little community involvement to help saturate the media and public with our message,  this project will be a success and will help people for years to come.

The Big Picture

 The Coast to Coast Ride is a large scale fundraiser to promote Hearts Up Ranch. All charitable contributions, sponsorships, and pledges go directly to Hearts Up Ranch. The goal of the ride is to begin raising the funds needed to start the ranch as well as create an endowment. This is to keep costs low for the guests who come for ministry, as well as minimize the time and resources needed for yearly fundraising. Thus  it will allow the staff to be fully devoted to the mission of emotional healing. Essentially, the majority of the fundraising for years to come is being done up front.
