SUPPORTING GB ATHLETES TO RAISE £1M FOR GOOD CAUSES ON THE PUSH TO PARIS.
Supporting fundraising of good causes, who will receive 100% of your donation and then multiply it through Charity Auction or Direct Sales. (There are Rewards. see update).
ABOUT US:
We all might work for a certain high speed railway but we are far from high speed ourselves. This is our last chance at any sort of glory before we shuffle off into late middle age or retirement.
We really need your help to have any sort of chance of getting close to the young guns of GB Cycling and to have bragging rights when they step on top of the podium in the summer, propelled there by your fantastic support. Please give us that chance, we will need every second we can get!
We are four slightly over the hill Cyclists who have paid to attend a special Velodrome Track Cycling Day where we have been set a Beat the Medallist, challenge, where the host Gold Medallist sets a flying lap time and with your help we might have a chance to beat it. We each get .25 seconds head start for every £100 raised...
YOUR DONATIONS ARE MULTIPLIED BY CHARITY AUCTIONS
The GB Athletes are looking to raise a £1m for good causes by Paris 2024, and we are fundraising to provide places on GB Athlete Experience Days to give free to good causes and add to the £612K in pure donations raised already.
Each month there are hundreds of auctions, and your collectively funded places will be placed into grateful charity auctions until the fund is exhausted. On average your donation is then multiplied by 241% (see below)
CROWDFUNDING EXAMPLE:
AND WHY GOOD CAUSES WANT FREE PLACES FOR THEIR CHARITY AUCTIONS:
In Autumn 2023 the GB Athletes Crowdfunder created this impact
The following four images detail the returns made at Charity Auction.
Your Donated Places: £5034 (Includes private donations of places)
Generated for Charity: £12135 (100% kept by the Good Cause)
This is how your £5+ donations will help crowdfund places on Athlete Days that through charity auctions generate more money for good causes and have done since 2012
HOW THIS WILL WORK
We will use the totals raised and allocate places to good causes to sell at auctions until all places are sold (there is no cost or risk to any good cause).
We will definitely multiply the amount by a minimum 50% but obviously not sure when all places will be sold...but they will be eventually especially as its an Olympic Year.
PRIZES TO BE WON BY YOU
All donors are entered into a draw to win signed athlete memorabilia, event tickets and places on days with the athletes. For every £1K raised in total across all Beat the Medallist / Beat the Pro fundraising we do a draw and you get to choose the prize from the constantly updated list. (We are currently £290 shy of the second draw.)
Any additions will be promoted on these pages in Updates
