Actually, in Burnin_Vernon's case, it would be the BC Cancer Foundation. (Alberta's ride is August 9-10). I've been a volunteer/crew member for the last three years. It's a hugely worthwhile event even if the parent foundations have such a high overhead. The four rides last year raised over $43 million. Even if 1/3 of that is overhead, it's still $30 million to research.
Anyway, donated. And best of luck with your fundraising, Burnin'! Sometimes you have to get creative on it. My friend and I organized skydives the last couple years to draw people into donating.
