  • What it is
    Team FD is comprised of dedicated individuals who compete in outdoor adventure events to benefit First Descents. Team members compete in any outdoor athletic event whether a bike race, marathon, triathlon or walk, etc. Athletes are asked to raise a minimum of $300 to receive a First Descents bike/race kit; donations above and beyond are strongly encouraged.
  • Overview
    Athletes of all fitness levels are encouraged to join Team FD. Our Team FD athletes range in ability from professional to amateur levels, all sharing one common goal of supporting First Descents and the young adult cancer population that we serve.
  • Team FD Mission
    We are committed to raising money to fund First Descents' effort to cure young adults of the emotional effects of cancer, and empower them to regain control of their lives through challenging adventure sports in a safe, fun and supportive environment.
  • Get Started
    Each athlete is asked to raise a minimum of $300 for First Descents. In exchange Team FD athletes will receive a bike/race kit. We understand that many people may not have fundraising experience and are not clear as to where or how to start. First Descents offers fundraising tools to assist our athletes in meeting or exceeding their fundraising goal. Once athletes register to be on Team FD, they will receive a fundraising tool kit with ideas for local community fundraisers as well as instructions on how to set up an Active.com webpage for internet fundraising. Staff members at the First Descents office will be available for continual fundraising support.
