How to raise sponsorship for Breast Cancer Research

Monmouth Rotary Club has registered with GOFUNDME to enable “Walk The Wye” entrants and supporters to make ONLINE donations.
Each entrant will also be sent a sponsorship form to circulate to friends who would like to sponsor them.


75% of monies raised will be donated to the Velindre breast cancer research team. The remaining 25% will fund other charitable causes supported by Rotary.
Rotary Monmouth has registered with GOFUNDME to enable “Walk The Wye” entrants and supporters to make ONLINE donations.
GOFUNDME works in a similar way to JUST GIVING, but takes less of your donation in administration costs. 
Each entrant can create a GOFUNDME ONLINE sponsorship page.
