Become a Build Lebanon Trails Supporter

Since our founding in 2005, we’ve had so many loyal supporters, who have played a huge role in creating our wonderful  trail system in Lebanon. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

This year because of the renovation of Cheadle Park, we’re unable to hold our annual Cheadle Lake Run, and so also unable to run our annual sponsorship campaign, which normally provides a significant percentage of our annual donations. Though the sponsorship drive has been tied to that event, the sponsorships are proudly displayed on our website for the next year.

As a result, we’re trying out a different idea with our donations. We’ve developed a series of levels of support that combines occasional donors, frequent donors, and our annual sponsors. 

Everyone who donates at any level and any frequency is a BLT Supporter. There are five levels of support, and you can donate at any time:

People at November 2024 work party event
November 2024 work party event
  • Level 1: Friend ($5-99)
  • Level 2: TrailBlazer ($100-249)
  • Level 3: Pathfinder ($250-499)
  • Level 4: Steward ($500-999)
  • Level 5: Guardian ($1,000 or more)

Supporters at Levels 2-5 have the option of appearing on our BLT Supporters page, where you are listed for one year from the time you donate (same as we’ve always done for Cheadle Lake Run sponsors). If you prefer, you can remain anonymous by indicating that on the form below.

Level 1 Friends will not appear on the BLT Supporters page, but we greatly value any amount you choose to give. (On the advice of financial experts, we have set a minimum amount of $5 to discourage donations made for fraudulent purposes.)

So here’s the new procedure:

  • Fill out the form below.
  • Indicate the category and the amount you choose to give.
  • For Level 2-5 supporters, indicate whether you want to be listed on our Supporters page or remain anonymous.
  • If you are applying on behalf of a business, you can provide an optional short description of your business, the website address of your business, and a logo for your business, which will be displayed on the Supporters page for one year.
  • Choose whether to mail in a check or pay by credit card.

If you have any questions about the new system, please contact us.

Again, we thank our amazing community for all the support you have given and continue to give us, as we create, improve, and maintain our Lebanon trails.
