In an effort to encourage team challenges, please note that if you are a member of a team, if your team meets the threshold for fundraising as a group, then you will be considered to have met the minimum.  (Example – you are on a team of 10, the team raised over $4,000 collectively but you raised $300.  You will be considered to have met the minimum as part of that team.)

In addition, there will be contests and awards for fundraising – both individuals and teams.  Stay tuned for further details.
