As a CowaLUNGa rider, you have an important impact on air quality and people living with asthma, COPD, lung cancer, and other lung diseases. All fundraising proceeds benefit RHA’s mission to prevent lung disease, promote clean air, and help people live better through education, research, and policy change.
Because Cow is a charity ride, below you’ll find a variety of resources to make fundraising as easy and FUN as possible.
Visit RHA’s Fundraising Toolkit online. This comprehensive guide shares how to make the most of your fundraising campaign and reach your goal!
Determine your fundraising goal and RHA’s fundraising coaches will provide lots of ideas that can be formatted and customized to best achieve it. You will be amazed by the generosity of your network; allow our fundraising coaches to help you explore the potential.
