Personal Page
What is a Personal Page?
A personal page is a web page provided as an online promotional tool. Use this page to invite your friends and family to join your Ride team or sponsor you by making a donation. After you register for a Ride event, by default, you will have a personal page created for you. You then have the option of personalizing this web page by going to your "My Ride Center". You will be able to customize the image, text and the style/color layout of the page.
By default I have a personal page, do I have to change it?
After you register for a Ride event, by default, you will have a personal page created for you. A compelling personal page attracts and engages supporters. While you can spread the word using customized e-mail solicitations and letters, your personal web page can be your own creative expression of your commitment to the fight against ALS. Customize your page by selecting the layout and style that work best for you. Utilize the elements of text, photo and status indicators to their fullest advantage.
Participant Center
How do I change my personal fundraising goal?
First, you will need to login to your "My Ride Center". On the top right side of the "My Ride Center" home page is the location to modify your personal fundraising goal. Enter your new goal and submit the changes.
What is a Team Page?
A team page is a web page provided to the Ride Team Captain as an online tool for your use when communicating with team members. Once you have registered as a Team Captain you have the option of personalizing this page. Use this page to update your team members of your goal, progress, successes and lastest news. Update this often and encourage enthusiasm to raise awareness and reach your goal together.

What is a team message?
A team message is a way Team Captains can communicate with their team members, what you enter here appears as a message from you on their personal page and can be updated daily. Simply go to your "My Ride Center" and click the "Participant Center" button then enter the latest news in the section just above the button "Update Message to Team" from the grey box to the right. Clicking the Update button will allow you to save the most recent message to your team. We encourage you to send encouraging messages often!
What is the difference between making my personal page private or public?
By default, a personal page is Public, meaning your name will appear in the Ride participant search list, and anyone accessing the Ride website will be able to support or join you in the Ride. Setting your personal page to Private means your name will not appear in the Ride participant search list and only people you personally invite will be able to support or join you in the Ride.
Address Book
How do I upload my address book?
You will find step by step instructions within your "My Ride Center" detailing how to upload your personal address book. After you have added your email addresses you may edit, add or delete addresses at any time. Please know these addresses are private and not shared with The ALS Association Evergreen Chapter.
Email
How can I send emails to my friends, family and colleagues?
You have access to messages that are designed and ready to use in your "My Ride Center".
