Goals
The Sarcoma Cup was established by
BeatSarcoma, Inc., a non-profit benefiting research into sarcoma (and
closely related causes). The larger goals of the nonprofit are outlined on
their website.
The purposes of the Sarcoma Cup are:
- Generate awareness of sarcoma issues
- Raise funds for sarcoma research
- Provide a high quality racing and onshore experience for participants
We believe that it's possible to further a charitable cause in a highly
efficient manner while still providing a great experience to participants
and volunteers. The details of BeatSarcoma financial policies are spelled
out on their website, but the short version for the Sarcoma Cup is:
All
net proceeds of this event go straight to the cause. There are no
deductions
for BeatSarcoma, Inc. corporate expenses such as salaries, stipends, etc.
Event expenses do
not include compensation of BeatSarcoma insiders
for their time or efforts. Event and organization staff are volunteers.
