2008 Walk & Bike Campaign Seeks

Local Merchants for BINGO Game

Limited spots left for program

BOULDER—Community Cycles, coordinators of GO Boulder’s Walk & Bike Month activities, is seeking local merchants for a popular game called BINGO. Merchants who sign up will be featured on more than 1,500 BINGO cards to be handed out to local consumers. Merchants will receive an attractive poster to display in their window and recognition in Walk & Bike Month advertisements. There is no cost to businesses to participate.

“For businesses looking to be part of Walk & Bike Month in June, this is a great opportunity. They can be part of the move to get people walking and biking and they get increased exposure from the foot traffic,” said Sue Prant, Walk & Bike Month campaign director.

When consumers pick up a BINGO card at the GO Boulder booth at the Farmer’s Market in May and June, the card will include a list of all participating merchants. Consumers will then have to travel to five participating merchant locations to receive a stamp. Completed BINGO cards are entered in a drawing for prizes.

Merchants will offer some type of discount for consumers participating in the BINGO game. Availability is limited, so merchants interested should contact Prant at 303-564-9681 or bikesue@gmail.com.
