August 17, 2010 in Events News, General News by
At the recent Day of Difference Foundation Benefit Ball, entoure won the inaugural 2010 Charity Champion Award. The award will be an annual celebration and was a real surprise. Riders from Propel Investments organised a couple of tables on the night and where there to celebrate the evening.
Our History
Entoure commenced in March 2008 and has raised over $1.2 million across its events. Whilst boutique cycling events remain key to what we do, we have started to trial a series of community based events; with our main focus being to test our Wigs4Kids concepts.
Our Network
Currently on average each of our cycle events have attracted around 60 or so riders however, we are looking to increase participation rates to around 100 + throughout the later part of 2010 / 2011. Our network currently consists of approximately:
1) 60 + Organisations
2) 300 + Riders
3) 3000 + Donors
What Have We Funded ?
Funds have been used to purchase:
1) Audio visual equipment at the Paediatric Simulation Centre at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead,
2) Emergency equipment for the Royal Children’s Hospital at Brisbane, and
3) To support the Day of Difference Foundations Family Support Program.
What Will We Continue To Support ?
The Day of Difference Foundation have moved their attention into Family Centered Care and have developed a Family Support Program. Funds from the 2010 Entoure Cycle Classic Hunter Valley supported this initiative and moving forward, the majority of our events will support this program.
Thanks
Thank you to all who have participated and supported our events to date and given so generously. We hope we can continue to provide a reason to support critically injured kids and give you all a reason to actively participate.
