FUNDRAISING
Help SheRACES by taking on an event or challenge to raise essential funds to support our work
We can only do what we do by raising essential funds. This is achieved through donations, partnerships, speaking engagements and a lot of fundraising within our amazing community. As a Community Interest Company, funds raised are used for the benefit of our community, enabling and empowering more women to get to the start line of more races.
Which is why we'd love you to consider raising funds for SheRACES at your next race, event or challenge. We're here to support you with your efforts and would love to welcome you as part of the SheRACES fundraising team!
There are a number of ways that you can choose to raise funds for SheRACES:
> Fundraise with your own race place
If you have a race coming up this year that you already have a space for, please consider raising funds for SheRACES! Our fundraising pack can help you get started and you can contact us to let us know what you're doing and when so we can support you!
> Create your own challenge
We love it when you come up with your own challenges and events – it doesn't have to be an organised race! Why not set your own goal that's personal to you. Our founder, Sophie Power, ran across Ireland as a personal challenge while raising money for SheRACES, but it doesn't have to be that extreme! You can email our fundraising team to tell us about your idea and find out more!
> Apply for a fundraising place at one of our races or our Accredited races
On this page we outline various opportunities that are exclusive to SheRACES. You can register for one of our fundraising places, pay a small admin fee and then we can support you to meet a minimum fundraising target. We are here to help at every step and we set our targets at an achievable level.
> If there's an event you want to do, let us know!
We have good connections with many events and races, so if you see an event or race that you would love to do and want to raise money for SheRACES, but it's not listed on this page, email us and let us know! We can speak to the event team about securing a fundraising place on your behalf.
SheRACES Trail Series – Fundraising Places
Join us at our new female-only trail race series, in partnership with Ourea Events, with a fundraising place. We only ask for a small administration fee to secure your spot (you do not need to pay for your race place), then ask you to raise a minimum achievable fundraising amount to support the work that SheRACES does.
We will give all our fundraisers plenty of support, including access to a private chat group with our team and the other fundraisers, as well as other exclusive perks.
