BENEFITS OF RAISING FUNDS

1. You are raising money to help bring attention to those who everyday wait for the life saving gift of an organ transplant. Today, over 4,000 people in the Delaware Valley, PA area alone are waiting for a transplant. 

2. You are helping yourself by raising funds to allow you to race for free.

3. You will be educating the public about adventure racing and about organ donation awareness as these questions will often be asked when you approach someone for aid. It’s a great way to spread news about both these topics.

HOW DO TEAMS RAISE MONEY FOR ORGAN DONOR AWARENESS?

WE ARE ASKING EACH RACER TO RAISE AT LEAST $50 FOR THIS EVENT.

Adventure racers have a unique opportunity to raise money for organ donor awareness, and race for free!  For every $100 each racer raises, $10 will be deducted from your registration fee.

Simply ask friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. to help sponsor you in the event.

Explain to them that you are doing an adventure race (which will usually lead to the conversation of what is adventure racing – so you get to do some education about the sport)

Ask them to pledge to you a set amount that they feel comfortable with. Fill out the pledge sheet.  If they choose to pay by check, ask them to make the check out to “The Transplant Foundation”. All pledges go directly to organ donor awareness, and are tax deductible.   

Bring your pledge sheet and your collected monies with you to race registration. We will then deduct the appropriate amounts from your registration fee, and a check will be returned to you.  

You and your team must pre-register for the race, and pay the entry fee ahead of time. Any funds that should be returned to you will be done so after the race.
