JustGiving partners with Revolution Asia for the inaugural East Aquathon 16.3 to let participants realise their fundraising potential
JustGiving has today announced a fundraising partnership with Revolution Asia for the East Aquathon 16.3, a brand new race concept for Hong Kong, supporting the Sedan Chair Charities Fund. The partnership will allow registered participants to develop a personalised fundraising page on the events website through JustGiving's APIs, enabling fundraisers to harness the power of digital networking and social media to help them raise more for charity.
East Aquathon 16.3 is an explosive individual and relay style adventure, combining Open Water Swimming, Trail Running and Road Running, all in one adrenalin-fuelled race.
