Sponsorship Information

100% of all monies raised goes directly to the supported charities

The Central South Island Charity Bike Ride was born following participation by the organizers, Phil Laurie & Morrell McFetrich in a similar event in Australia raising money for Child Cancer Research. The realization occurred that this was a fund raising activity that not only enabled funds to be raised but was also an opportunity to motivate people, to focus on fitness, exercise, fun and maybe a change in lifestyle, thus increasing health and well being in the workforce and local community. The aim is to support and raise awareness for small South Canterbury groups/organizations who constantly struggle for funding so that they can continue to provide valuable services to local people.

Each rider is required to raise a minimum of $350 in donations/sponsorship and all monies must be receipted. Sponsors are those who contribute $300 or more in cash or goods. The levels of sponsorship are listed below

Sponsorship Form

We have a sponsorship form for those sponsors donating $300+ to the ride. It contains important details related to the sponsorship and must be completed and sent to the organisers. It is the responsibility of the rider to ensure this form and any associated sponsor logos etc have been passed onto the ride organisers
