Tour De Telling

    Donate to your favorite team

    SpeakeasyDC's infamous spring fundraiser is back! Tour de Telling – a a creative six-week "virtual bike race" involving teams, prizes, events, trash-talking and more. Teams of riders are propelled through the course through donations collected to support SpeakeasyDC. Each team will come up with creative and outrageous ways to raise money through May and June, in order to move their team around the course and win prizes. Five course sit-down dinners, game nights, bake sales – all bets are off. The teams with the most donations and/or donors win prizes and glory.  Find out more about the epic launch launch party read Emily Wooten's blog post.

Team members: Meredith Maslich (Captain), Katy Barrett, Jeffrey  Blender, Jess Lyons, Karen St. Germain, Send us your Truth or Dare challenge.  Visit their FB page
