Frequently Asked Questions:
1. MATCHING FUND DRIVES: Matching drives are a great way to DOUBLE your fundraising dollars that push you closer to the $500 and $1,000 milestones, and the coveted prize of 52 Full Meals for the Top 15 Individual Fundraisers. A matching drive is when a company matches, or doubles, donations made to your fundraising page, thus doubling the impact of the original donation made. Matching drives will be surprise announcements via text. Please note: donations to your page will NOT be doubled during a matching drive until you have reached your minimum fundraising goal of $65.
2. CAN I BRING MY OWN GEAR/SKATES: YES, please bring skates, roller blades, scooters, skate/long boards, unicycles, etc. Anything with wheels that can be safely used in a crowd. NO BIKES!
3. SKATE RENTAL: If you plan to rent skates for $10/person, please indicate size during registration. You can reserve your size until October 6th. After this, it will be your responsibility to find/provide your "wheels" for the event. The skate rental cost does not count towards your fundraising goal. Pick up your skates at the designated times at Chick-fil-A Garden of the Gods.
