FAQ
How the Sweepstakes Works
How does the Adaptive Bike Giveaway Sweepstakes work?
The Adaptive Bike Giveaway Sweepstakes gives children with disabilities the opportunity to receive a custom adaptive bike while empowering communities to rally behind them through fundraising, awareness, and support.
​
Families apply to participate. Once approved, each child receives a personal fundraising page to share with family, friends, coworkers, and their community. Supporters can donate to the child they choose, with every donation earning entries according to the Official Entry Schedule.
​
At the end of the campaign, all qualified participants are entered into a certified random drawing, where winner(s) are selected.
​
How are entries calculated?
Each donation receives a set number of entries based on the donation amount.
Donation | Entries
$10 | 10
$25| 35
$50| 100
$100| 250
$250| 750
​
Higher donation amounts earn more entries, increasing that child's chances of being selected in the certified random drawing.
​
How is the winner selected?
At the end of the campaign, all qualified entries are combined into a single pool. Winner(s) are selected through a certified random drawing.
​
Every eligible entry has an equal chance of being selected. Children with more entries have greater odds of being selected because they have more entries in the drawing.
​
Why is there a free way to enter?
No donation or purchase is necessary to enter.
​
Individuals may request one (1) free entry through the Alternative Method of Entry as described in the Official Rules.
​
Free entries and donation entries are treated equally during the certified random drawing.
​
When will the winner be announced?
Winner(s) will be announced shortly after the campaign ends. Dates for each campaign are listed on the campaign page.
