The first question you need to ask is, "What kind of team am I?"

We have three types of teams: Community Teams and two Special divisions for Breast Cancer and Sport Teams. See the descriptions below and on the Special Divisions page.

For those of you registering a Community Team, there is a second question, "How will your team members pay and fundraise?" The answer to this question will help you pick the right "Create a Community Team" ticket on the registration page:

1. Individuals will pay the registration fee and fundraising commitment themselves.
2. An organization will pay the registration fee for the whole team ($1020) and individuals will make their own fundraising commitment.
3. An organization will pay the registration fee AND the fundraising commitment for the whole team ($2295 per team).

Click the registration button at the right to join a team.

Choose the Join a Team option that's right for you:

• Individual Adult: Registration fee is $60 and you'll provide credit card details for the fundraising commitment (see more below)
• Individual Youth: Registration fee is $60 and you will need a parent to sign the Festival Waiver.
• Then select your team when you see the "Go to Team Name" bar.

Registering for a company / pre-paid team? Your team captain paid the registration fee for your whole team and they will have given you a promo code that covers the $60 fee when you register. The code gets entered on the second page after you've provided your name and other details. You will still be asked to provide credit card details to "guarantee" your fundraising commitment. See below for more information.

When you register, you accept a commitment to raise $75 for our charities. Thank you! Here's a little more information.

The commitment works like a guarantee on a hotel reservation. You provide your credit card details up front and then if you don't show, they can bill your card. The same thing is true with the Festival, with a twist:

We look at the fundraising for the whole team first. As long as your team has raised $1275 as a group, then no one gets charged individually. Team fundraising can be a whole lot of fun and that's how a lot of our teams get there. 

But indiidual fundraising isn't very hard either. Send an email to three aunties asking them to donate $25 to support your participation in the Festival and it's charities and you're done! We even provide a template for the emails on your personal fundraising page. Share that page with friends and family and the $75 practically raises itself!

Since you've read this far, we'll tell you that we haven't charged any individual for their fundraising commitment in all the years we've been doing this because the teams have always come through! Make sure to check in with your team and share your ideas about team fundraising!
