FUNDRAISING PLEDGE Saints Foundation Big Bike Challenge 2018 Thank you for volunteering to take part in the Saints Foundation Big Bike Challenge 2018. We are excited to have you on board for this incredible and worthwhile journey. Saints Foundation recognises your efforts and commitment in being part of this initiative and truly values your participation. As such we are happy to cover the cost of your travel and accommodation for the duration of the Challenge. That being said, in covering these costs Saints Foundation will of course incur significant expense, and as this is a charitable initiative and Saints Foundation is a charitable organisation, we want to ensure not only that we raise as much money as possible, but that as much of that money as possible is put towards the programmes and initiatives for which we are raising money. We therefore ask that you pledge to do your best to reach your fundraising target of 650 and ask that you acknowledge that in order to take part in the cycle ride, you will need to have paid in full a registration fee of 50 [prior to being accepted onto the ride]. Once again, we thank you for your participation and fundraising efforts. In signing the below I agree to the above. Date: Name of participant: Signature of participant:
