YOLO CHARITY

Exercise with Soul: Turn every kilometer into a good deed

YOLO CHARITY

Have you signed up for a YOLO Events event and want to turn your sporting challenge into a truly memorable experience? Join the community of runners and triathletes who choose to give extra meaning to their steps by supporting a charitable cause!

YOLO CHARITY

What does it mean to run/participate in a competition for a cause at YOLO?

In short, you participate in a YOLO event and turn the sporting challenge into a way to raise funds for a non-profit organization or a cause you believe in.

✔️ You are already registered for the race (or you register normally)
✔️ You create a personal fundraising page
✔️ You activate your friends, colleagues, and community to support you through donations
✔️ You train and compete knowing that every kilometer has a real impact

Donations are made online, directly on your page, and supporters can leave you messages of encouragement that really matter on race day 💙

How do you get started? (3 simple steps)

STEP 1: Choose the cause

You can support:

  • an event partner organization
  • a non-profit organization that is close to your heart

If the event has a dedicated charity program (e.g., Timișoara 21K, Bucharest 21K), you will find the list of partner causes directly on the event website.

STEP 2: Create your fundraising page

Visit Sportiv.Galantom.ro and create your personal fundraising page associated with the YOLO event you are participating in. Your page will include:

why you run/play sports
who you support
your fundraising goal

 

STEP 3: Tell the story and involve others

Share your page:

  • on social media
  • on WhatsApp
  • by email
  • at the office, in your running club, with your family

No need for large donations—many small donations make a huge difference.

YOLO Charity

Why run/compete for a cause?

Give meaning to your participation

You're training anyway. Why not turn that into something good for someone else?

You get a real boost of motivation

When you know that people have donated and believe in you, it's much harder to skip training sessions.

You become an ambassador for a cause

You run/play sports for an organization, helping them to be seen, heard, and supported by more people.

You create connections

You reconnect with loved ones, meet other runners/amateur athletes/fundraisers, and become part of a community that exercises with passion.

Benefits

The benefits of sport for body and mind, combined with the satisfaction of doing good – a combination that's hard to beat.

TIPS THAT ACTUALY WORK

Simple fundraising tips

Set a realistic goal

But don't worry, if things go well, you can always increase it.

Be yourself

Explain why the cause is important to you. An authentic story attracts more supporters.

Make your first donation

A page that already has a certain amount raised (even if it's small) encourages other people to contribute.

Post updates

Show your supporters how your training is going. Photos and videos increase the visibility of your campaign.

Thank you publicly

Every donor deserves a token of appreciation. A thank-you message makes them feel part of your success.

Is it difficult? No.
