If you choose to fundraise for one of our official charities, you will be eligible for a refund on your registration fee (essentially earning a FREE registration!) In order to receive a refund, you must raise a minimum amount of money for the organization you selected. Fundraising minimums vary by event and can be found here. If you do not reach the minimum, you will not be eligible for a refund.
