The Israel Ride registration fee is non-refundable and not tax deductible. There is no refund for arriving late or leaving a trip early. Additional fees (i.e. bike rentals) are considered part of your registration fee and will only be refunded if we can cancel that booking with our outside vendors. If you cancel, your registration fee will be treated as a donation.

Donations are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another rider. If you cancel, you can roll over your fundraising dollars for your participation in the following year’s ride. If you cancel immediately before or leave during a ride, you may be responsible for some of the costs incurred (up to $1800). Please note that you can only roll over for the subsequent year.

Fundraising Minimums

Participants are required to achieve their minimum fundraising commitment one week before the Ride, by October 23, 2012. If a rider has not achieved the minimum fundraising requirement by October 23rd, we will charge the remaining balance onto the credit card used at registration. You can continue to fundraise until December 31st, and can either earn incentives for surpassing your goal, or we can refund charges to your credit card if funds are later raised.

Each rider will receive a personal fundraising website to track donations and we offer a wonderful array of gifts for Riders who exceed their fundraising minimum. We encourage you to increase your fundraising goal on your personal web page past your required minimum – please note that we do not require you to fundraise to your stated goal, only to the minimum listed above. In 2011, the average rider raised $4600.
