The Ride2Survive has become a very unique form of fund raising when compared with other cancer related fund raisers.
There a few things that set us apart:
- We cover all our expenses ourselves.
- Your donation doesn't pay for us to have a ride.
- Your donation is exactly that... a full donation to the cause - not a donation where some unknow portion pays for event costs.
- Our donations are "designated" to a particular research purpose through the Canadian Cancer Society.
We are "all volunteers". You donate your money, we donate our time, and the result is all the funds go to the end goal!
So, what does that mean?
Because we cover our own expenses, your donations are not used to buy advertising, posters, pamphelts, pay salaries, t-shirts or water or donuts or gas or any other expense of holding this event. Rather, your donations actually go to where you think they should go and we share that information with you.... gladly!
By designating our funds raised, 100% of those dollars goes to that area of research - That means that the Cancer Society does not take and administrative costs out of your donation to the Ride2Survive.
In 2009 by vote of our riders and support, we designated that our $440,000 in donations go to the following... and every penny went there!!!
So, If you want your donation dollar to be the most effective in supporting Cancer Research; The Ride2Survive is the place to donate!
If you have any questions about where your donations go, please contact me at info@ride2survive.ca
