Yes, we ask that all participants fundraise. The Rev is BORP’s main fundraiser of the year, and participants in the event commit to fundraising. Funds raised support the full menu of programs that BORP offers. Fundraising minimums: Adults: $400; Youth: $150; Ride From Anywhere: $150

The Rev team is available to support your fundraising efforts!  We have email templates you can use for oureach to your family and friends and are available via email and phone to workshop fundraising ideas and to assist if you have questions about how your fundraising dashboard works, and more. Please reach out to us at info@borp.org!

The BORP bus will be available to transport Rev participants to the event but space is limited! The BORP bus departs early on the event day, departing from the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley. To reserve your place on the BORP bus, contact transporation@borp.org. Be sure to reserve your seat as early as possible.

A. First, make sure you are certified for paratransit in the county you currently live.

B. Contact your county paratransit provider well before the Rev date and have them send their "Notification of Eligibility" to Marin Paratransit.

For both options, you will need to create or join a team while registering. When you see the option near the bottom of the page, if you don't already have a team, click Create a Team, fill in the form and then click next. On the next screen, click the big "Register another member" button. 

At the top of the registeration form you will see the 2 options:

#2 Register a user with their own account, which will create another full registration for another rider. You must have that person's email address to set up their user account.

Fill out the rest of the registration and repeat as necessary. Note: people who are added to the event this way will need to sign their own waiver at the event.
