COVAC Fundraising

 As a cyclist you can spend a day doing something you love AND help us meet our fundraising goal. There are two ways you can help:

a. Make a one time donation when you register for your ride online.

b. Collect donations from folks willing to sponsor your ride. You can encourage your coworkers, friends and family to make a donation to your ride that will in turn support numerous worthwhile charities.

Donation Form: print out a Donation Form

Fundraising is completely voluntary and not a requirement for entering the ride and enjoying the day. Help us reach our fundraising goal!

Net proceeds from this event benefit the “Amherst Rotary Good Works Fund”, which supports a broad range of humanitarian, cultural, and educational programs and activities. Some of these programs include:

Rotary International Initiatives: eradicating polio, supporting literacy projects, and providing potable drinking water.

Local Initiatives: High School Scholarships, Big Brother/Big Sister Programs, Western Mass Food Bank, Amherst Family Outreach.

Donations will be recognized with a letter of thanks from the Rotary Club of Amherst and a receipt issued for tax purposes. The Rotary Club of Amherst Good Works Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization, so donations are tax-deductible.

What to do With Your Donations: Donations can be mailed until September 1st, 2024. Otherwise, bring donations to the ride. Mailed donations should be addressed to:

The Rotary Club of Amherst – COVAC
c/o Sandy Perron
26B Mill Village Rd
So Deerfield, MA 01373

Please do not mail cash. Cash or checks collected after that date can be turned in at registration on the day of the ride.
Incentive:  Every rider who raises $100 or more will get a special ride sweatshirt!  Please indicate your size on the donation form.
Thank You!: Your support of this fundraiser allows us to have an impact, not only in our local community, but around the world.  Thank you!
