U.S. Handcycling Launches new "300" Fundraising Campaign

Saturday, 31 October 2009 00:00

300 DONORS | $100.00

What is the 300 Campaign ?
300 is a grassroots fundraising campaign with a target goal of $30,000. The concept is simple: U.S. Handcycling is looking for 300 individuals, organizations, or sponsors to donate $100 each!

In today’s economy, it’s difficult to find corporate sponsors and private donors who are able to make large donations. The 300 campaign makes it possible for anyone who believes in the potential of people with disabilities, to become part of an entire community of supporters.

Why should I contribute ?
U.S. Handcycling is an independent organization. USA Cycling and the USOC do not provide any direct funding for domestic, integrated cycling races. U.S. Handcycling must solicit direct donations to fund the U.S. Handcycling Series, which puts athletes with and without disabilities together at some of the biggest races on the USA Cycling calendar.

All contributors to the 300 Campaign will be listed as a sponsor on the U.S. Handcycling website, and at U.S. Handcycling Series (USHCS) events.

Where does my money go ?
Contributions from the 300 campaign will be utilized for one of the following programs:
• Direct athlete support (creates athlete scholarships for travel or associated expenses at USHCS events)
• Event Support (helps cover expenses incurred by U.S. Handcycling for USHCS events)
• Development and Coaching (supports educational programs and events such as annual Learn to Race camps)

How do I make a contribution ?
You can submit a donation online, or by mail, by utilizing the links in the right column.
