Fundraising

The LIVESTRONG Challenge is a benefit ride (or run) and requires participants to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. This is my first event of this type so I've never been on this side of the fundraising process. I'm not really sure what to expect but I set a personal goal of $3,000. I'm already a week into my training so that leaves only 5 weeks to go. Can I raise $600 per week, nearly $100 per day? We'll have to see. If you want to help you can go to my LIVESTRONG Challenge page:
Steve's LIVESTRONG Challenge Page
If your employer has a matching gift program then you will need to provide the following information for your matching gift to count towards my goal:

  • Participant's name: Steve Dakin
  • Challenge City: San Jose
  • Participant ID: 223528977
The LIVESTRONG Challenge site has more information about the matching gift process. It can take several weeks for matching gifts to be applied to my account so if you are planning to take advantage of this please do so as early as possible. If you need any assistance with matching gifts just let me know and I'll be happy to do the paperwork for you.

Thank you!

Funds left to raise: $3,000
Days left: 35
