Fundraising and Triathlon

Do you want to raise funds with triathlon specifically or are you open to other endurance ventures?  I ask because there is a great event called the MS150.  It is a bike ride from Houston to Austin (they have others around the country, simalar to Susan Komen race for the cure) that you fundraise for MS.  Here is a link to the website.  There is also a way to set up a page on active.com where people can donate money to your charity, but I dont really know much about this.

Good luck in your fundraising!!

As long as your organization is a 501 (c) 3 non profit you can raise funds through the Janus program. I did it for IMLP a few years ago and it was great knowing all those people that you helped would be cheering for you. Gave me some inspiration when the going got tough.

Did you hear from Janus that they were definitely not going to include IM Louisville in their charity challenge? I have been emailing them and the last reply that I got from them is that they "will be making that determination over the next few weeks."

I have looked into Active and FirstGiving and will likely use one of them if Janus is not available. It is a shame because the Janus credit card fees look to be lower than the other sites and the additional contributions from Janus for the top fundraisers are nice.

You can raise funds for any charity you want with Janus Charity Challenge.  I recently raised funds with JCC and IMFL.  You have to do a IMNA event to use Janus tho....its really easy
