About the Lance Armstrong Foundation

The Tour de Road America is an event that is 100% organized by volunteers for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The LAF is the primary beneficiary of the ride, and is joined by our two other beneficiaries, the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp and the Vince Lombarid Cancer Clinic.

Since the founding in 2004, the Tour de Road America has raised over $90,000 though donations and writsband sales to help cancer survivors LIVE STRONG!

 

Peloton = n. A cycling term that describes the main group of riders in a race who collaborate and work toward common goals.

 

The Tour de Road America is organized under the Lance Armstrong Foundation's LIVESTRONG CHALLENGE structure, which provides important infrastructure for fundraising and advocacy. By clicking on the "Donate to LAF" button, you will be taken to Tour de Road America fundraising headquarters within the LAF's LIVESTRONG CHALLENGE, where you can make a donation using the LAF's secure server or print out a mailable form.

Corporate Matching Gifts:

Double your donation!

Many companies match their employee's charitable gifts. So if you contributed $50, they’d match it for a total of $100 to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

Here's the process to follow:

STEP 1 - Check with your company's HR department to determine if they will match for contributions made to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Note that most companies will not match donations for silent auction items.

STEP 2 - If they match, obtain a matching gifts form from the HR department. Complete the form and attach a copy of your donation receipt (from the LAF directly or from activegiving.com).

STEP 3 - Write the following information on the upper right hand corner of your company's matching gifts form:

"Tour de Road America / Austin / #99215609"

This will ensure that the LAF can find the original donation. If your matching gift form is filled out electronically, please be sure to indicate "Tour de Road America / Austin / #99215609" in the notes field of the electronic form.

STEP 4 - Make a copy of the form and mail to:

Lance Armstrong Foundation
Attn: Matching Gifts
National Mail Processing Center
P.O. Box 6002
Albert Lea, MN 56007-6602

If possible, attach a copy of your donation receipt to the matching gift form. A copy of donations made through the LAF's web site may be obtained by calling 888.4.CHALLENGE (888.424.2553).

Once the form is received at the processing center, the LAF will verify the amount of the original donation and return the form to your company so they can complete the matching process.

If your company approves the gift, they will mail a check to the LAF for the matching gift. And then you've done it...you've doubled your donation!

For more information on matching gifts, follow this link to the LAF's site.
