The lowdown:
We're committing up to $1000 to an epic 'pay it forward'
campaign around the Upper Valley helping those in need
and also providing some general positivity. To do so, we will
be relying on YOUR participation and guidance!
We will be hiding fake $50 bills around the Upper Valley
for you to find and participate in our campaign with.
(details below)
here's how it works...
We are launching the campaign with FOUR of the $50 bills
the week of 1/11! Next is where you come in:
1) Head to TRAIL BREAK and/or ORDER online
2) TELL us or TYPE in code word: "STOKE" when you order
3) We'll put 5% of your total bill towards the fund
4) We'll let that fund grow up to $800 through the end
of MARCH, putting out two more $50 'Share the Stoke'
bills each time the total reaches another $100

WE'LL BE FILMING OUR ADVENTURES WITH THESE PROMOS AND POSTING THEM TO
THE @SHARETHESTOKE_UV instagram account
Find a $50!
Over the next few weeks, we'll be
hiding our 'Share the Stoke' $50 bills
at random locations, AND at some of our favorite local businesses,
around the Upper Valley.
So...be on the lookout next time you get
gas, hit the gym, head out for some groceries, order some food, embark on a casual shopping spree or hit the slopes
for a day outdoors!
Find one and you're on your way to
FIVE FREE TACOS
and a whole lotta karma credit in deciding
the 'pay it forward' fate of that $50!
