Additional Information
About Fundraising:
To participate as a member of Team SAMP, we ask that you meet a minimum fundraising commitment, which is based on the race type you select when you register. The minimum fundraised amount does not include the non-refundable $50 registration fee.
To assist you in your fundraising efforts, we provide you with the opportunity to create a Personal Fundraising Page to collect donations online and view your donation collection status. You may use a combination of online and offline fundraising efforts, as long as all donations are received by Sophie and Madigan's Playground by the following dates in order to count toward your fundraising minimum:
- By October 1, 2024: 10% of the fundraising commitment
- By January 1, 2025: 50% of the fundraising commitment
- By March 1, 2025: 75% of the fundraising commitment
- By April 6, 2025: 100% of the fundraising commitment
If the fundraising minimum is not met by these dates, we will ask you to secure your position on the team and secure your race registration with a credit card or check, acknowledging that you will donate the difference between what you have raised and the minimum.
You of course are welcome to exceed the minimum fundraising level, and doing so may make you eligible for additional fundraising incentives.
