How to Sponsor/Donate | canoeclassic

Sponsorship and Donations

You can make a sponsorship or donation, big or small, to a paddler or the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic to help with our fundraising.

There are a few ways to sponsor or donate. You can-

Sponsor yourself,
Invite others to sponsor you,
Sponsor a paddler, or
Make a donation to the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic Association.

Paddlers - you need to do this

To raise your minimum sponsorship of $200 ($100 for juniors), the preferred option is to use the GiveNow system.

Please refer to the email sent to you by Webscorer moments after you completed your entry. That email walks through how paddlers create their fundraising page on the GiveNow platform. Once paddlers set up their fundraising page via that process, GiveNow will send an email with the link for paddlers to send to their colleagues, friends and family for sponsorship to be raised. This is the Association’s preferred process to initiate sponsorship.

Sponsors – How to donate to a specific paddler

Contact the paddler you would like to donate to and have them advise you of their GiveNow fundraising link. Make a donation using that link. You will receive an email receipt and the paddler you are donating to will be advised of your donation by email.
