Starting a Bike 4 the Brain ride in Chicago to raise awareness for mental illnesses

Bike 4 the Brain is a bike ride in order to raise money and awareness for mental illnesses and to get rid of the negative stigma associated with them. There is already a bike for the brain ride in Kansas City (bikeforthebrain.org) and I am trying to start a ride in Chicago. I would be very grateful to any help I could get for things like planning a route, getting sponsors, and getting the equipment needed for the ride (water, pop-up tents, tables, etc). I would also greatly appreciate the expertise of anybody who has ever created or planned for a bike ride or something of the sort before. The ideal day for the event is Labor Day, September 7, 2009.

This is great!

Last months issue of Bicycling magazine had a little blurb on event planning. It's online here: http://www.bicycling.com/article/0,6610,s1-1-323-19191-1,00.html
