HOW WE HELP
WE BRING THE RACE.
YOU BRING THE REASON.
RVA Racing provides the tools, people, and experience that turn a fundraising idea into a professionally produced cycling event.
From registration to results, promotion to race-day production, we help our nonprofit partners focus on what matters most: their mission and their community.
Depending on the event and available resources, we may waive service fees, donate equipment and production support, or absorb certain event-related expenses.
Our goal is simple: help more of the money raised make its way back to the community.
Online registration, professional race timing, results management, and participant coordination.
REGISTRATION & RESULTS
Access to race venues, bibs, timing chips, awards, and essential event infrastructure to help bring your event to life.
EQUIPMENT & VENUE SUPPORT
Event promotion through RVA Racing's website, email list, and social media channels, connecting your cause with more than 2,500 regional riders.
PROMOTION & RIDER REACH
Course design, race-day operations, announcing, MC services, DJ support, and the people who make race day happen.
EVENT-DAY PRODUCTION
WHO WE PARTNER WITH
SHARED MISSION.
STRONGER COMMUNITIES.
We prioritize local, community-based nonprofit organizations whose work directly advances - or meaningfully contributes to - RVA Racing's mission and values.
We're especially interested in organizations using cycling, athletics, and outdoor recreation to create opportunities, improve access, and strengthen our region.
MISSION FIT MATTERS MORE THAN ORGANIZATION SIZE.
WE PRIORITIZE ORGANIZATIONS THAT:
Strengthen local sporting communities and volunteer networks.
Demonstrate a clear community benefit and fundraising purpose.
Expand access to cycling, athletics, and healthy lifestyles.
Create opportunities for youth and underserved participants.
Share our commitment to safe, welcoming, inclusive events.
A PARTNERSHIP,
NOT A BLANK CHECK.
Our community partnerships are highly selective and limited to 2–3 events annually.
RVA Racing determines the scope of donated services, equipment, staffing, and potential financial support on a case-by-case basis. Some expenses may remain the responsibility of the nonprofit or its sponsors.
Applications do not guarantee acceptance or financial support.
WHAT WE ASK OF OUR PARTNERS
GREAT EVENTS ARE A TEAM SPORT.
We're bringing the race-day expertise. We're looking for partners who bring the same energy to their cause.
A successful fundraising event takes more than a great idea. Our nonprofit partners should be ready to contribute time, people, outreach, and a clear plan for making an impact.
A CLEAR COMMUNITY MISSION
Tell us who you serve, what your organization does, and how the funds raised will make a difference.
Come with a fundraising target and a clear purpose for the proceeds. We'll work together to assess what's achievable.
A REALISTIC FUNDRAISING GOAL
Provide a dedicated point of contact and volunteers to support planning, promotion, and race-day activities.
PEOPLE READY TO PITCH IN
Bring your members, supporters, sponsors, and community networks. RVA Racing will amplify your outreach through our regional cycling community.
A PLAN TO REACH YOUR COMMUNITY
Allow enough lead time for scheduling, venue coordination, permitting, and event production.
TIME TO DO IT RIGHT
Be prepared to agree on event responsibilities, safety requirements, fundraising arrangements, and the scope of RVA Racing's support before moving forward.
