Father’s Day is this weekend on Sunday, June 19^th. It’s a day to celebrate all the dads out there – your dad, grandpa, step-dad, father-in-law, husband, etc. It’s also a day for giving that wonderful person you’re celebrating a gift that’s just as special as they are.

So do you have your Father’s Day gift ready? If not and you’re still looking for something unique and special, then consider a gift that’s not only special, but also gives back. Make it a gift of charity.

Here are some ideas:

Make a donation – Donate to a charity or fundraiser in dad’s honor. Support a charitable organization that dad likes, consider an organization that help fathers in need or find an organization that concentrates on male related causes, such as prostate cancer.

Create a fundraiser – Help dad fund his socially conscious enterprise, project or cause. Create a fundraising campaign and make it a group gift. Invite family, friends and other poeple in your network to make a donation. Everyone’s contribution will add up to a very memorable gift.

Purchase a gift that gives back – Buy products from socially conscious companies that support charities. There are many companies that donate a portion of an item’s purchase price to charity, so you can buy something great for dad while doing good for others.

But of course, don’t forget the most important gift of all – a few simple words like “I love you”, a warm hug, and a big smile

Happy Father’s Day!

Team SocialWish is getting ready for another annual NYC Century Bike Tour. Last year was such a great experience that we’ve decided to do it again. We’re looking forward to riding the streets of New York in the fresh open air, bonding with other riders, and pedaling in support of a good cause – Transportation Alternatives efforts to create better biking in New York City.

This year’s ride is on Sunday, September 18th and we’d love to have your support. Here’s what we’re looking for:

Sponsors – Put your company name and logo on our bike jersey for a chance to advertise your company plus support Team SocialWish. Different pricing packages are available.

Benefits to the sponsor:

• Get recognized as a socially conscious company. By supporting Team SocialWish, you’re also supporting the NYC Century Bike Tour (and Transportation Alternatives), which is a great cause.
• Gain publicity for your company during and after the bike tour, since Team SocialWish will be wearing the bike jersey at other events throughout the year.
• Feel good by knowing that you’re doing a good deed – helping to make biking better and safer in New York City.

Riders – Join Team SocialWish and ride in great company for a good cause.

Benefits to the rider:

• Get a free Team SocialWish bike jersey.
• See amazing views of New York City from the best vantage point, your bike – the tour links NYC’s breathtaking bridges and beautiful parks to its incomparable neighborhoods and famous waterfronts.
• Benefit your own health, getting great exercise in the wonderful outdoors.
• Help support SocialWish by banding with us to make the world a better place.

If you’re interested in sponsoring or riding with Team SocialWish, please contact founder@socialwish.com. You don’t have to be a resident of New York to be a sponsor or a rider.

We look forward to having you on our team!
