Equal Chance

Yikes, no Bikes! – Second edition

Enrico Berti — Tue, 17 Dec 2019 10:36:43 +0000

Dear friends and supporters of Equal Chance,
last year the holiday initiative ‘Yikes, no bikes!’ was a success and your generosity helped us buy 50 bikes for the children in Cambodia.

As you can see, the children are incredibly happy with their bikes and they don’t have to walk for miles and can now go faster to the school.

We decided to up our game and give 70 bikes this year!

As usual though, we need your precious help to make this happen. With only 30 Euro you can sponsor one bike to make one (or a couple, since they share!) child happy!

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!

If you want to print out a ‘thank you’ postcard, you can download it here.

Dam tot Dam – 21-22 September 2019 – Registration

Enrico Berti — Fri, 12 Jul 2019 17:39:08 +0000

Hi avid runners!

EqualChance.net is a charity foundation supporting 300 Cambodian children in school since 2016. We operate based on donations only and completely on a voluntary basis.

How does it work?

By participating in Dam tot Dam run you agree to a donation of at least 80 EUR if you are registering for the 5 EM (8KM) run or a donation of at least 95 EUR if you are registering for the 10 EM (16KM) run.
This donation will cover our ticket costs, t-shirts and half a year for a child in school!

How do I fundraise?

You can sponsor your donation by yourself or participate in a fun fundraiser with your friends and family, empowering them to donate for the children as well, and competing with other runners! Would you be the one to break last year’s individual fundraising record of 675 EUR that paid for a whole class of 13 kids?

There are different methods – you can pay us directly to our bank account (Stichting Equal Chance, NL35 INGB 0007 8781 18) or fundraise from your social circle, this will usually result in more donation hence more children in school.

Facebook donations work great or, alternatively, you can start a fundraiser on PifWorld.com and add your own running page, then share it with your family and friends.

You can also share the bank account number NL35 INGB 0007 8781 18 with your family and friends, just make sure they mention your name the description of the transfer.

How do I register?

If you’re all in, please leave your details in this Equal Chance registration form and acknowledge the Donation and Cancellation Policy on the second page of the form.
Then, depending on your selected run, register to be part of the Equal Chance team on the Dam Tot Dam website.

I already have a running ticket, can I participate in the fundraiser?

YES! It is possible to run with another ticket and fundraise for Equal Chance. There is no minimum amount you are expected to raise then and we will support you as much as we can towards your goal. Facebook donations work great or, alternatively, you can start a fundraiser on PifWorld.com and add your own running page, then share it with your family and friends
