Countdown to the ride
general information
What is Peer-to -Peer fundraising
Peer-to-peer fundraising is a simple and powerful way to multiply impact. Instead of a single organization asking for donations, individuals — like you — create a personal fundraising page and invite friends, family, coworkers, and social networks to give. It’s community supporting community.
How It Works
- Register for the event with a $25 Peer-to-Peer registration fee
- Commit to raising a minimum of $40
- Create your personal fundraising page
- Share your page with your network
- Supporters donate through your unique link
- You help turn miles into meaningful impact
Why the $40 Minimum?
The standard individual rider registration fee is $40.
By choosing the Peer-to-Peer option, you register for $25 upfront, and once you raise a minimum of $40, you meet (and exceed) the standard rider registration threshold.
Anything raised beyond $40 directly supports SAGAesc outreach initiatives.
🌟 What This Means for You
You get:
- A lower upfront registration cost
- A personalized fundraising page
- A chance to multiply your impact
- Support from our Fundraising Success Kit
You don’t have to be a professional fundraiser — you simply invite your circle to be part of something meaningful.
Small donations add up quickly.
Individual Riders
Individual Rider – $40 Registration
Register as an individual rider below for $40 and join us in supporting the cause. Every mile you ride helps turn compassion into action — transforming your effort on the trail into meaningful impact for underserved and unhoused communities. 
TEams
Instead of riding alone, you gather friends, family, coworkers, church members, or community supporters to form a team of five riders. Each team works collectively toward a shared fundraising goal while enjoying the event as a unified group.
How Teams Work
Teams are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Here’s how it works:
- A Team Leader registers the team with a $50 registration fee
- Each team consists of 5 riders
- We are accepting only 10 teams total
- Once all 10 team spots are filled, registration will close for teams
- After that, participants may register as individual riders only
Team
Fundraising Goal
Each team sets a fundraising goal of $500.
When each of the 5 riders raises just $100, the team easily reaches the $500 goal.
Teams will:
- Share a personalized team fundraising page
- Invite friends, family, coworkers, and supporters
- Track progress together
- Celebrate milestones as a group
Why Join as a Team
- Builds unity and accountability
- Creates friendly fundraising momentum
- Makes the ride more exciting and impactful
- Multiplies outreach support for SAGAesc programs
With 10 teams raising $500 each, we generate $5,000 toward outreach efforts serving underserved and unhoused communities.
