Riding for a Cause Allows Cyclists to Raise Money for Charity

A brand new non-profit foundation, Riding for a Cause, has launched their brand new Website www.ridingforacause.org.  Cyclists across the nation ride hundreds and thousands of miles each year while rarely serving a greater purpose or cause. Riding for a Cause is designed to convert cyclists' annual mileage into a tangible financial gift that supports charitable organizations. 

Cyclists sign-up at ridingforacause.org, gather sponsors, choose the charity or charities, log their miles and then ride for a cause!  The cyclists don't even have to worry about collecting any money at the end of the year because Riding for a Cause, through the Website, will invoice each sponsor for the money they have pledged and then distribute the money to the chosen charity.  AND because of the $25 per year administration charge per rider - 100% of the money collected through the pledges goes directly to the charity. 

Each rider fills out a profile and sponsors (or anyone) can go to ridingforacause.org and view the profiles and the miles logged to keep up with how the rider is doing.  The top riders with the most miles and the most money pledged at the end of the year will receive prizes at a grand end-of-year Riding for a Cause party.

Net-Capacity is proud to have been chosen to participate through the design and development of the Website and we look forward to adding on many more features so cyclists will be able to use the site to communicate as a community.  Already cyclists from the Hincapie Sports racing team have signed up and will be logging miles and raising money for charity while they train!  Keep watching! RidingforaCause.org will be as exciting to watch throughout the year as it will be for cyclists to use!
