Fundraising
How am I going to raise $1,000?
Each rider will need to fundraise $1,000 for this event. Included in your participant package is admission into the tour, cyclist swag bag, transportation to and from the trail, trail support, 3 nights double-occupancy lodging, all meals and snacks and entertainment. A $200 deposit will be required upon registration and will count toward your fundraising total. Get your family, friends and colleagues involved in your fundraising. Never Surrender Inc has many fundraising tools available for your use.
$50 Calendar Raffle & $10 SeaDoo Raffle: When you sell raffle tickets, 100% of the money you collect is applied to your fundraising total. Some participants choose to sell raffle tickets at work, at family get-togethers, county fairs, outside of businesses, Home/Sports Shows, etc. Raffle tickets also make great birthday or Christmas gifts. (Remember: You can fundraise year-round! We offer multiple raffle opportunities.) Raffle tickets can be picked up during regular business hours at Duluth Lawn & Sport (4715 Grand Ave, Duluth) or by emailing julie@neversurrenderinc.org.
