“The goal was to raise funds to collect and send 500 bicycles to the newly opened bicycle center in Burkina Faso.”

Ride for impact

 

Velafrica invited their corporate and private donors to register teams of 5 people for a donation of $150 per team.

teroGo provided a sign-up platform, including a payment function.

10 sponsors offered prizes and cash donations.

Velafrica cycling challenge 2019

 

For one month, 55 teams with more than 300 participants logged over 100,000 kilometers.

Together they raised over $15,000 dollars for Velafrica! A non-profit organization that collects old bicycles fixes them, and ships them to Africa so more people can have access to education, health care and avail themselves of economic opportunities.

143 sweaty selfies were taken during the challenge.
