Fundraising Resources

Here are a number of ways for you to manage a successful fundraising campaign for the ride:

Your very own online Fundraising Page!

This will be your number one fundraising resource! When you register online for our event you also create your very own fundraising page. You can customize your message, add some pictures, join (or start) a team, state a personal fundraising goal then… share the page with your network! You will be amazed how this tool makes fundraising fun AND easy!

You can also edit your fundraising page at any time after you create it; just click the My Page tab on the left side of this page – this will take you to your fundraising page – edit away!

Contributions the easy way!

We have made it easy for contributors to make online rider sponsorships and direct donations to Krempels Center. The online approach is the easiest way for most but we have provided paper materials (see below) for exceptions.

Either way the story should be compelling – all fundraising or donation dollars go directly to Krempels Center and will be utilized to continue the phenomenal existing programs and the creation of exciting new ones.
