WE DO NOT RECOMMEND CREATING A FUNDRAISER THROUGH FACEBOOK! Share your profile on Facebook to ask for donations, but when asked if you would like to add the “Donate” button to your post, click NO. This will then post your profile link, and allow people to donate directly to your page. When you create a fundraiser via Facebook by adding the “Donate” button to your post about Pedal the Cause, what you actually agree to do is to make a donation to their charity partner Network for Good. They inform you that they will deliver the funds to the charity you designate (in this case Pedal the Cause) in 60-75 days. When they do send us the money, it is aggregated and without either donor or rider information. It is very hard for us to match these Facebook donations to our riders without any donor data, and that is why there is no way for us to add them to your rider profile without having your donor data. If you have donations made to you via Facebook that you would like credited to your ride, email us at info@pedalthecause.org with a screenshot of the donations made to you. We will do our best to match these with donations we have received through Network for Good.

If your image is too large, please resize it using an image editing program or an online editor such as simpleimageresizer.com). Please don’t make it too small, because it may end up blurry when our system processes it.

You can always go up in mileage and fundraising commitments, but you can only go down in mileage and fundraising commitments before August 1. If you would like to change your mileage and registered Early Bird (before July 1), the Early Bird fundraising commitment will still be acknowledged (e.g., if you’re riding 20 miles and would like to change to the 100 mile course and had originally registered during the Early Bird, your new fundraising commitment will go from $375 to $600. If you would like to go from 20 to 100 miles and did not register during the Early Bird period [after July 1], your fundraising commitment will go from $500 to $1,000). From August 1 through September 29, fundraising commitments can only be increased. If you would like to lower your distance at this time, your fundraising commitment will remain the same (e.g., if you’re riding 100 miles and would like to switch to 20 miles, you are able to, but your fundraising minimum will stay to what you originally committed). If you would like to increase in distance and you registered during the Early Bird period (before July 1), the Early Bird fundraising will be acknowledged. If you would like to change your course please contact us at info@pedalthecause.org.

We’ve selected a very scenic route through St. Louis County, keeping in mind that riders of all levels will be participating. For more specific information about each course, visit our Courses page.
