How to Dip in Person!

STEP 1: REGISTER AND FUNDRAISE

  • Pre-registration is now closed. All registrants will still wait in line to receive their Dipper number on February 25th at Bonnie Castle. Registration on the day of the event will be inside Bonnie Castle Resort 9:00AM-NOON. Dipping begins at 1:00PM. All in-person Dippers must be at least 18 years of age.
  • If you want to form a team that dips together, please sign up for the Team Captain option. Once you form a team the rest of your group can join your team as Adult Team Members.
  • Create your own fundraising page (you will be directed to do this once you registration is complete). Even if you are part of a team you will need to create your own page and fundraising goal that goes towards the overall team. Get as creative as you want with pictures, videos, linking your social media and tell people why you are Dipping to support River Hospital or keep it simple with just your name and personal fundraising goal. All Dippers are required to raise a minimum of $100 to participate on the 25th.
  • Share your Dip page with family and friends via email and social media for them to donate directly through the website with a credit card.
