What is Charity of Choice?
Charity of Choice links any Cause, Charity, Individual, or Business to any event in the world. Charity of Choice gives anyone the power to fundraise for their favorite charity by setting up free individual and team pages and receive rewards for doing so. You can submit any charity of your choice and invite friends to join.
What do I get for fundraising?
If you enter as a fundraiser for $50, your full entry fee is covered. You can also earn great rewards from our sponsors as you raise more money.
What percentage of dollars will go to the charities?
See our Charitable Economics.

Standard (non fundraiser): You just pay your way in. No donation required.

Describe your fundraising options:
Echelon Challenge: Participants register
for $25 and then ask sponsors or donors to match their laps or
donate a certain dollar per lap ridden. Our
Challenge courses are only 1-3 miles so it is fun and
easy to accumulate laps.
Echelon Gran Fondo: Participants can enter for $50 then
must meet a minimum donation for any distance.
Am I required to meet my fundraising goal?
No. As a fundraiser, you only have to raise a minimum of $250. If you don't raise that much, we will charge your credit card the difference one week prior to your event.
Will reaching certain fundraising levels qualify
participants to receive incentives?
Yes! There are various incentive levels for all Echelon
participants. Visit the event registration pages for more
information. At each Echelon event the organization
recognizes outstanding fundraising efforts with special
awards.
Why is there a fundraising minimum?
The Echelon Gran Fondo was established as an epic amateur cycling event which supports any cause or Charity of Choice. The minimum fundraising goal helps us cover some of the costs associated with putting on our events.
Do you issue refunds?
No, but you can transfer your registration to another rider.
Where do the funds from the Echelon Gran Fondo go?
Net proceeds from the Echelon Gran Fondo
and Challenges benefit
local hospitals and Charity of Choice. Read more about Charity of Choice here.
