Fundraising

To fundraise for a charity of your choice (through our Grassrootz platform) or via the Movember Foundation, make sure you set this up during your event registration process (via our home page link).  Please click the following link to check out which charities are involved and a current fundraising tally for this year via our Grassrootz online platform https://pointtopinnacle2024.grassrootz.com/

Fundraising has been an optional part of the Point to Pinnacle since 2012. We encourage you to consider fundraising as part of your Point to Pinnacle OR Point to Pub experience this year. Fundraising is a great way to help someone else overcome their personal mountains while you train and take on yours

This is the 13th year P2P has worked with our event charity partner Movember and also through our online platform (Grassrootz) to open up fundraising opportunities to all entrants across many charities.

This will also be the 3rd year we have partnered with Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer (CB4BC), with the aim being to raise significant funds for brain cancer research. We hope many of you will join the CB4BC team and be a part of the fundraising journey this year.
