SPORT TOGETHER FUND: 24 HOUR CHALLENGE

On 28th and 29th June in central London, human endurance and determination will be put to the ultimate test, in aid of supporting refugees and displaced people from across the world.

We want you to get involved!


Beyond Sport’s Sport Together Fund, SIG’s official charity partner, is a special initiative supporting sport-based organisations that aid communities impacted by conflict, human rights violations, and climate change disasters.

The Sport Together Fund 24 Hour Challenge will see the industry target an ambitious goal to conquer the distance between London and Kyiv, covering an astounding total of 1,330 miles within 24 hours.

In this endeavour, we will harness the cutting-edge power of the revolutionary RE:GEN Bikes. To add excitement to the challenge, there will also be friendly competition among the industry. The organisation that covers the furthest distance in a 30-minute slot will be victorious and have some silverware for their office!

To secure a slot for your organisation, we kindly request a donation of £600 to the Sport Together Fund, which includes 4 bikes for 30 minutes, a challenge t-shirt for all, as well as exceptional hospitality and support throughout!


IMPACT

A donation of £600 will help train and upskill refugee coaches to provide support and stability for up to 100 young people experiencing displacement.

If we raise our goal of £20,000, the money will support thousands of refugees through sports-based initiatives.
