You may have heard about the Ride to SIIM (now in its third year), an exciting and fun cross country motorcycle trek from Chicago to the SIIM Annual Meeting. You can read about the first ride to Austin in 2006, here. This year, you can participate by making a pledge to help us raise money for the SIIM Research Grant Fund. We’re looking for as many per-mile pledges as we can find! Since we estimate the round-trip from Chicago at over 4,000 miles, a 1-penny-permile
pledge will translate into a $40 tax deductible donation to SIIM. Ten cents a mile will raise $400. A onedollar- a-mile pledge will not only get you a $4,000 tax deduction but also an autographed glossy photograph (and DICOM image file) of you sitting on one of the motorcycles, surrounded by the riders. Send pledges by email to SIIM at grants@siimweb.org. Please be sure to send complete contact information with your pledge; SIIM will contact you after the ride to make arrangements for payment and to get you your tax letter. Contributions to the SIIM Grant Program, a 501c(3) organization, are taxdeductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
