Bike for humanity: Raising money for COVID-19 victims together with NBA basketball legend Bill Walton.
In early April, I received an unexpected call from Events.com to invite us to collaborate with their partner and former NBA star Bill Walton in Bike For Humanity.
Bike for humanity is a virtual and non-profit bike ride event to raise money for those affected by the COVID-19.
In Bill Walton's words, the purpose of Bike for humanity was to promote health, community, service, and hope.
Our task was to launch an engaging fully-responsive multi-page website within five days to promote Bike for humanity's mission in compliance with the CDC's guidelines.
We were thrilled to receive such an opportunity, but there was a tiny problem. There was no brief, no content, and no time.
Still, I was aware that this project was beyond business. It had a purpose, and above all, hope.
As soon as we finished our call, I started working non-stop to meet our customer's deadline.
The main challenge was to clarify a message that can encourage American families to:
- Take a virtual ride in their neighborhood in the middle of the pandemic, and
- Donate to help others during one of the biggest layoffs in American history.
Despite several revisions and improvements, we could deliver the following product before the official release.


Results
- bikeforhumanity.com received over 12K visits in 20 days.
- Over 1500 participants ride and donated for Bike for humanity.
- Over 500 organizations and media outlets across the country shared Bike For Humanity's mission and website.
- We helped our customer raise 100K USD within 30 days. All net proceeds went to Champions for Health, Father Joe's Villages, Feeding America, Feeding San Diego, and Get Us PPE.
- We sponsored the event together with big brands like Shimano, Morgan Stanley, Bell, Columbia, and more.
