RRW FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You ask….we answer!

The Ride:

Do you have to ride the whole distance?

There are no rules about how far you have to ride. We will have three routes (70 miles, 50 miles and 40 miles), one for competitive and avid cyclists and two more for recreational cyclists. The route you want to ride is up to you and how far your inspiration takes you!

How many riders can form a team?

All it takes is you and one set of legs! If you want to participate as a team, you can ask as many participants as you’d like….the sky is the limit! The more people you recruit, the more fun it makes your ride!

What happens if “Rally in The Redwoods” is cancelled?

Safety is our first priority. While our event will occur rain or shine, in the rare event of extreme weather or circumstances beyond our control, the venues we use and the municipalities wherein the venues are located determine policies relating to the cancellation of an event. Any cancelled event will not be rescheduled due to the complex nature of a fundraising event. Refunds will not be offered for fundraising efforts and your fundraising donations will be used as a donation to Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation. Donations are also nonrefundable but they are tax deductible!

Fundraising:

Can we fundraise as a team?

Team fundraisers are a great way to make raising money fun, and often easier! Gather your team, create your page, and reach your goal! Once you register for the Rally in The Redwoods, you will be emailed a link for fundraising donations. Stay tuned!

Why do I need to set a goal for fundraising?

Creating a personal goal will make you more motivated to raise funds to support Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation and our supported hospitals. Your fundraising will support childhood cancer research and our Hope Tote program. 100% of the proceeds raised for Rally in The Redwoods will be used to support the Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation mission.

How can I send someone my personal fundraising page?

Every email sent from your fundraising page will include a link to your fundraising page. You can also use the old-fashioned way: mail letters directing recipients to teamgfoundation.org. All donations whether credit, check or cash will be applied directly to your fundraising page. Watch your efforts grow!

Are registration fees tax deductible?

Since Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)3, all of your fundraising and donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

What if I register, but am unable to participate?

If you find out you are unable to participate, please notify Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation at tgteamgfoundation@gmail.com as soon as possible. Donations are nonrefundable.

What if my personal fundraising web page does not reflect all of the donations? 

Any donations made online should be posted immediately. If you’ve mailed in donations, please allow 2 weeks for processing. If you feel there is a problem, contact us to let us know!

Do all donors receive a receipt?

Anyone who contributes online will receive a receipt immediately. To receive a receipt for donations sent via mail, please include the donor’s email address in the donation form. An email will be generated as soon as the donation is added to your account. For donations of $250 or more, we will mail a year-end letter confirming their gift.

Do corporate matching funds count?

YES! Corporate matching funds all count towards meeting fundraising award levels. So kiss your boss next time you see him or her. On second thought, just thank them. A handshake will do.

Who should checks be made out to? Can I give a cash donation?

Please make all checks payable to Team G Childhood Cancer Foundation. We cannot accept cash donations through the mail. Cash donations are accepted in person at the time of the event.
