Tour de Scottsdale

Tour de Scottsdale welcomes non-profit organizations to have a fundraising team during the event.  Riders need to register and pay for entry in the event, but all funds that are raised on behalf of the charity go directly to the charity.  There is no additional charge for charitable teams.

   1. Other ways you can personalize your page are by uploading a profile photo, creating a slideshow, and sharing your personal story that inspires people to donate.

How do I fundraise as a Team?

Fundraising Teams are meant for participants who want to raise money while also participating in Tour de Scottsdale. These teams focus on fundraising and typically have a fundraising goal that each member is encouraged to help reach. Members of a fundraising team will have first set up their own individual fundraising pages to collect donations from friends, family, and colleagues -- and all of these efforts count towards the goal of team!  Aim high!

1. First, Become a Fundraiser (see above).
2. Select "Join a Team" by searching for the team you want to join OR creating a team of your own!
3. Follow the prompts to enter information about your team -- this includes a name and your team's goal!
4. Customize this page like you did for your own -- add photos, videos, and a story that inspires people to donate.
5. Share your team page with friends, family, and on social media to start raising money.
6. Monitor your progress and thank your donors as you and your team reach your fundraising goals.
