How did you go about reaching your team Fundraising goal in 2007?

Team BVN raised sponsorship in many ways – everything from individuals approaching friends and family to our directors seeking support from the industry to which we belong – even those who had their own teams in the Gong ride pitched in!

How easy and rewarding did your team find your fundraising?

The online system made for a very effective method of receiving sponsorship. Emails were sent – money came in!

How did you go about organising a large corporate team?

It was surprisingly easy to convince people to take part. Once the wheels started turning, the team and the interest around the event grew.

Those who were unsure were convinced to make their debut at the ‘Spring Cycle’ and the ‘Ride to Work Day’, the rest is history!

How did you go on the day?

Everyone had a great time! Some raced, some sat back and enjoyed the scenery and some struggled…but everyone made it!

Will you be back in 2008?

Bigger and Better than ever!
