Fundraising
Do you want to race for FREE? Raise $150 by November 1st and you receive a free race entry.
Here's how:
For your convenience you can create a fundraising page with ActiveGiving.com. Then you can email your fundraising page to all your friends, or add to your Facebook wall. ActiveGiving.com will then submit all funds donated directly to the Captain Chris Cash Memorial Foundation of NC, Inc.
Or you can manually collect checks and submit yourself. You can download this donor form to keep track of your donations. It’s that easy! Remember, all donations are 100% tax deductible, and are awarded as college scholarships!
Deadline for fundraising:
All fundraising must be completed and funds submitted by November 1st. Once you have completed your fundraising, and submitted all manual collections, please Contact Us and a free entry form will be emailed to you.
Have you already registered and decided you would like to race for FREE? If so, no problem. Complete your fundraising by November 1st and receive a full refund of your registration fee.
Become our top fundraiser and win the Rudolph Challenge!
Tips for successful fundraising:
- Create a cause statement – a declaration of who you are and why you want to raise money for college scholarships.
- Build your contact list of people, and even businesses that would like to support you and help us award more college scholarships.
- Remember, some companies have a matching donation program. If their employee donates $20, you can easily double it with the matching program.
- Don’t be afraid to ask. The worst they can say is no.
- If you use Facebook, or other social networking sites, ask your friends to spread the word by reposting on their networking site.
Rudolph Challenge
This award is presented to the participant or volunteer that shines the brightest light upon the event by raising the most money. A plaque will be displayed annually at the race as well as the local National Gaurd Recruiting building on Mill Street in Winterville throughout the year. This will be an ongoing project for many years to come. We think you would make a GREAT Rudolph so get ready to shine.
