    2. We are bringing back our Opportunity Drawing for our Champions for Love fundraisers. Here is how it works:
  • Every $100 raised enters the fundraiser into the opportunity drawing. There is no cap on entries. Raise as much as you can to better your chances! For example, if you raise $500 that is five entries!
  • Keep in mind that when donating to a fundraising page (team or individual) you are helping that fundraiser with their chances of winning a prize from the opportunity drawing. (Donations made in support of a fundraising page are not eligible to win prizes).
  • Want a chance to win something for yourself? Create your own fundraising page! You can fundraise on your own or create a Team. Teams can consist of just you or any friends, family or neighbors who want to join your fundraising efforts. There’s no limit!
  • Please note! Registration fees do NOT go towards your fundraising efforts. So, make sure to create a fundraising page when you register and get fundraising!
