About Us
Discover Why We Are Passionate About Creating Charity Sporting Events.
We are four friends who share a passion for cycling and no longer work for a living. That doesn't mean we've stopped working. It means we now have the time to give back to our communities. We do this by organizing and participating in athletic charity fundraisers.
We formed Pace & Purpose so that we could help charities or community groups organize and run fundraisers that have some type of athletic (cycle, run, walk, etc.) component. Since we're not working for our living, we don't charge our clients a fee to run the events. We only pass on our costs.
This means you get experienced professionals organizing your events at no extra cost. This is our way of thanking the community for all that we have achieved in our working lives.
