Friends and members of the public can donate via your individual or team profile page without logging in. The funds go directly to the event organizer through a payment gateway, such as Stripe. Togoparts.com does not hold any funds in escrow.
For example, if a team has 3 people (Person A, B & C) and someone donates $90 via the team page, then each person will receive $30 ($90/3). If Person A raises an additional $10 on their own, their total raised amount would be $40. The team's total raised amount would be $90 + $10 = $100. If a 4th person (Person D) joins the team, any further donations received through the team will be divided by 4.

Tagging your fellow participants will create an identical record of activities which will be flagged by our system and the other participants. As a General Rule, we do not allow participants to tag each other in order to avoid reflecting identical records for the challenge.
Our team goes through the leaderboard weekly. If by any chance that identical activities are detected, Togoparts reserves the right to remove these identical activities from the challenge.
There are a couple of reasons why they could be missing: -You have recorded your activity prior to linking your Strava to the challenge. Our system only recognizes activities that are recorded after the linking. Please email us at cycleforhope2024@togoparts.com to have your prior rides synced. -You have set an incorrect activity type on Strava. For #CYCLEFORHOPE2024, our system will only recognize Cycling activities. You can either select "RIde" or "Virtual Ride" -Your activity may have been flagged and have been removed. Our team reserves the right to moderate and remove such rides if proven to be invalid or against our challenge rules. -Your activity may have been overlapping another activity. Our system is built to automatically detect overlapping activities (by time). It automatically removes one of the overlapping rides and retains the activity with the longest distance recorded. -You may have violated some Singapore Traffic Rules. In such cases, Togoparts reserves the right to remove these activities. If your activities are missing, you can verify the reason to such by sending us an email at cycleforhope2024@togoparts.com
