   At Cascade Bicycle Club we teach the joys of bicycling, advocate for safe places to ride, and produce world-class rides and events. Our signature programs include the Seattle to Portland (STP), Free Group Rides, the Pedaling Relief Project,the Bike Walk Roll Summit, Let\'s Go, and the Major Taylor Project.Cascade currently serves almost members, has 30 professional staff, and 700 volunteers.I lead with heart and strategy to grow community-centered giving. My role sits at the intersection of donor relationships, storytelling, data, and events—with a focus on making every supporter feel connected, appreciated, and inspired. I manage our Individual Giving programs year-round, including End of Year, Giving Tuesday, GiveBIG, Workplace Giving, and a variety of seasonal campaigns. I develop inclusive, values-driven appeals and thoughtful stewardship that strengthen donor relationships. I support our Annual Luncheon Fundraiser, from donor communications and guest engagement to data tracking and behind-the-scenes logistics. I oversee our use of Classy and Salesforce for donation processing, event management, and donor insights—ensuring our tools are clean, efficient, and human-centered. I craft our Annual Impact Report, translating outcomes and stories into a compelling narrative that honors our community and inspires continued support. I work closely with our Major Gifts Officer to ensure a seamless, personal donor experience across all levels of giving.As part of the Development team at Cascade Bicycle Club, I help advance a mission that brings people together through bicycling—advocating for safer streets, equitable access, and joyful rides for all. As someone who finds freedom, healing and connection on a bike, I’m grateful to help others experience that same sense of possibility—whether through a ride, a donation, or a shared vision for a better future.
