Upfront Donation and Fundraising Requirements
As part of your commitment to Chain Reaction and its charity partners, we ask that riders make a non-refundable, tax-deductible upfront donation of $3,000 upon selection to the event which is to be paid as alump sum. We will require riders to submit their credit card details at time of application and will charge a nominal $2 fee to verify the credit card details. The upfront donation will not be charged until the rider is accepted into the event.
Should the event be cancelled in 2021, entrants will receive a 50% credit of the upfront donation paid to be used for the 2022 event.
We also feel that it is important that our riders understand and agree to the fundraising requirements of this event before completing their submission.
Every rider must raise a minimum of $5,000 in personal donations. Riders are also expected to use their corporate networks to sell sponsorships on the team jerseys. Please note, the corporate sponsorships are not applied to your personal fundraising accounts and are considered "team sponsorships."
Please tick the boxes below that you understand and accept the commitment to fundraising if accepted to the 2021 Chain Reaction Challenge.
