Charitable Organizations Receive Donations Through Virtual Races
The Problem: In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading up to event cancelations all over the country, like many others, ITS YOUR RACE registration and results platform found themselves in a tough spot. They needed an event solution that would allow charitable organizations to continue receiving their donations. In these unprecedented times, companies must pivot to support the needs of non-profits, while still ensuring the health and safety of the public.
The Solution: Be The Good Virtual Race Program
How It Works: ITS YOUR RACE is working with charitable organizations to set up virtual running events. This means any non-profit organization can host a virtual event on ITS YOUR RACE and gain access to their technology free of charge. Once an event is launched and the registration site is created, participants will be able to sign up and download the IYR GPS tracking app. Participants will run/walk the race within a given time period in their own neighborhood or park. Once the specified distance is reached (ex. 3.1 miles), their time will automatically be uploaded to ITS YOUR RACE. If they do not have a smart phone, they can upload their times manually on the ITS YOUR RACE website.
This is an easy, no-cost solution for charities that need to raise funds. Registration is set at $30 (plus processing fees). $10 of each registration goes directly to the non-profit organization. The program also offers a Be The Good t-shirt customized with the organization's logo to each event participant. ITS YOUR RACE handles all the fulfillment and direct shipping of the t-shirts to the registrants.
Not only does this program benefit charities, but athletes as well. With the coming Spring, participants will be thrilled to get outside and exercise, while supporting a cause.
With over 1.5 million charities in North America alone, we are on a mission to get the word out to as many people as possible. You can still raise money during COVID-19 and we’re here to help!
