4/23 - 4/30 Homework.

Homework

Oh don’t think you’re getting away with out homework assignments for the week!

1. Become a BBP Virtual Volunteer

From April 23 - May 7th during Idaho Gives, we need all hands on virtual deck blasting out message out there. When ever BBP posts something on Facebook or Instagram, your job is to like, comment, and share if you’re willing. Every time you comment on our posts, they bounce back up to the top of the facebook feed. So a simple “I love BBP” might help our message get 100 more views and 100 more donations.

2. Donate During Idaho Gives

We have never had a matching $20,000 donor in our 13 year history. So please, give what you can. $1, $5, $10, $100 means the world to us a goes a long way. You can also add an extra note when you donate that will appear in the side bar. We love seeing your name and the little messages that people choose to leave. Click below to give.

3. Bike-a-Bout Boise (Wed 4/29): A Weekly Virtual LUNCH Ride WITH JIMMY

This week we’ll do a Boise Bike Organization Check In. (Guests from the Idaho Walk Bike Alliance, SWIMBA, Land Trust of Treasure Valley, Boise Green Bike and TVCA).

BEFORE THE RIDE:

  1. Choose make sure you favorite bike has full tires and is ready to ride, and add one piece of “flair.” Could be a bell, some streamers, something that makes your bike a little extra fun. I’m going to ask you about it.

  2. Choose a destination you can get to with good cell service by 12:13pm. Call in time is 12:15pm. Bonus points this week for secret/small neighborhood parks. Calling in from home is fine too.

  3. Pack a lunch, maybe a blanket, some extra layers, something warm to drink... Look at the weather and dress accordingly.
