OVERVIEW

Since the first ride in 2010, the annual Charity Cycle Adventure (CCA) has raised over$380,000 to help Saigon Children’s Charity (saigonchildren) support disadvantaged childrenand young adults in Vietnam.

saigonchildren was founded in 1992 for a specific purpose: enables disadvantaged childrenand young adults in Vietnam to reach their full potential through receiving a quality educationrelevant to their needs.

Over the last nine years, CCA has welcomed a range of enthusiastic cyclists from all overthe world who mix their love of cycling through the spectacular scenery of Vietnam withraising funds for those children and youngsters less fortunate than themselves.

Inspirational cyclists riding to support disadvantaged children

One of the great things about the CCA is that the riders personally pay for the costs of theride, so sponsors and supporters know that all the money the intrepid riders raise, goesdirectly to saigonchildren to help fund our work.

Thank you so much to CCA 2018 for raising over $35,000!

In total, CCA 2018’s wonderful riders raised over $35,000 through individual sponsorshipand the support of their friends and families! Thank you so much to everyone who sponsoredand supported the cyclists!

Example of real rider story:

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Saigon Children's Charity JustGiving page.

Saigonchildren supports over 2,000 disadvantaged children with scholarships every year and

provides vocational and life skills training to help Vietnamese children most in need, gain a basic education and equip themselves with skills necessary to work their way out of poverty.

To this end, saigonchildren builds schools, provide scholarships and vocational training.

$110 is sufficient to provide a year's scholarship for a child at the primary level.

This is the 6th year that I am doing this event for saigonchildren and I am glad to have had

this opportunity to help make a difference. This year will be bitter sweet as it would be the last ride that I will be participating while living in this wonderful country.

Most of you would know by now that we are relocating to Dubai in early 2017.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll

send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks in advance for your support !

HOW DO I GET MY FRIENDS TO DONATE?

Think of your potential target sponsors

Reach out from 5-10 people who are close to you and willing to support you. Tell them about your campaign and its meaning first personally. The more personal your reach is, the more likely they will donate.

Spread the words via supporting channels (steps by steps)

STEP 1: WOM and EMAIL

- Encourage people to donate by telling them how a little support can make a great change to the children. Support your statement with evidence or statistic (for example, with only $110, you can help a kid to go to school for a year!)

- Guarantee that all their money will go straight to the children who need it. Provide them proof to show how that progress will look like. (this may include examples or pictures of your previous campaigns, or step by step to transfer the money to people who need it)

- Pictures of people who already donated and the money they put in. These will help people to feel the urge. (Incase they are all your friends/colleagues/relatives, it is fun to see the picture of a person they love did this)

STEP 2: SOCIAL MEDIA (facebook, linkedIn, twitter, etc)

After you have reached out to a certain number of close contacts and have them involved, launch your campaign officially on your social media with quotes, and photos. Tell your community how important this campaign is, tell them your message and goals, also why you must make it a successful campaign.

(Suggest them using hashtag in every single post they update on social media)

#cca2019 #saigonchildren #yournamecca

Keep updating your content and interaction with your audience.

STEP 3: KEEP FOLLOW-UP WITH DONORS VIA ALL CHANNELS

Keep following every step of your campaign and potential donors. Let your community know about the progress, how far it has gone.

Tell a story to keep your audience engaged and raise their compassion.

Do not ask for money in every online post, but tell them stories of how another human’s life can be changed with their help. How strong the impact is if they just take a little action.

Tell your story of why is this important to you and the reason you are/have chosen to be an ambassador of the organization.

Say thank you to all donors individually and add their name into a weekly thank you post. Tell them to check out your progress to see how far the campaign has gone.

STEP 4: TIME REMINDING

Post in your social media channels and send emails to let people know that the time is running out.

STEP 5 : THANKS YOUR SUPPORTERS

Send a sincere email to thank every single person who have donated to your campaign. Tell them in your email how meaningful their action is and how it changes people’s lives.

Thank your social network by posting it on your social media channels.

Recognize your impact and get inspired for the next campaign

Release the wall of recognitions and send by emails/ post on social media.

Report to your audience how the money is used, programmes that the money have made possible. How it changes people’s lives. You can also send a postcard to thank them for example, or find any in real life attention to engage with your supporters and thank them.

What about in real life fundraising ideas?

Board Games after work

Playing board games would be a great thing to do with your colleagues after work or with your friends on weekend. It’s good if you have a charity box there to collect ‘right away’ some small donations everyday/every week via some fun games.

Charitable gift for special occasions: Take a special occasion, such as your birthday party, wedding, baby shower, Xmas, etc. but in your invitation, mention that you will not be taking gifts so ask them to donate for the campaign instead, or in the postcard/card, mention their name as a good-will to gift them.

Music night/ Puzzle night/ Karaoke night: You have some friends who would love to sing, you can ask them to join a charity night at a coffeeshop. The guests and audiences could donate via a donation box. You also could ask your friends to join a puzzle night or karaoke night, do something you enjoy while knowing that a part of their entrance fee will go directly to support the disadvantaged children.

Creative/Funny Challenge: Let your creative side go and challenge your colleagues, friends and families with some funny tasks, such as: bid 50$ if John take of his shirt during the Puzzle night; bid for a dinner with our boss (or any thing your boss could donate for this fun challenge), etc.

Email signature: Nothing is easier than change your email signature, so your colleagues, partners and friends all know you are doing for a good cause. It will work really well, trust us! And you can download it here!

And why not asking help from your boss?

Have you thought about asking your company to sponsor your ride? We have a special offer for them!
