WRISTBAND POLICY

There are NO REGISTRATION FEES for participants.  There is, however, an expectation for registered participants 12 years and older to make a self donation and/or fundraise.  Some participants will raise well over $1,000 while others raise just $100.  There is no minimum or maximum, but in order to receive a wristband when you check-in at the registration tent, you need to have at least $25 in donations under your name.  The volunteers at check-in will have a print-out of registrants and their fundraising status.  If you are planning to hand in money that day that is fine too, you will still be eligible for a wristband.  (Participants are encouraged to hand in money prior to the Walk day but donations will be accepted on-site.)

Please be aware that without a wristband, you will not be able to enjoy the free food, beverages, carnival games and other festival activities that day.  All members of a team must have money under their name/in their "account," it cannot be entirely under the team captain. 

Contact Dawn Fernandez,  Walk Manager, with any questions at 215-460-7385 or dfernandez@ccfa.org.
