The Jesters Care For Kids Charity Bike Ride is another unique way raising sponsorship money for this year's Charity Drive. The proceeds help support The Fountain of Life.

How does one collect sponsorship money for this bike ride?
The riders print out the sponsorship form and ask friends, relatives, and colleagues for a sponsorship of any amount.
