Fundraising Minimum Option Charities can add fundraising minimums to their runners on CrowdRise. Runners will be asked to commit to raising a minimum amount for your charity. If the runner doesn’t reach the minimum by the specified date, he or she will be charged on CrowdRise for the difference in the form of a donation to your charity.

Offline Donations Determine a system for entering offline donations for checks received. Charity organizers can manage and assign donations to specific fundraisers once checks are received, or allow fundraisers to enter offline donations themselves. Be clear with your runners on your protocol. You can access this feature in the MANAGE TEAM tab under the toolkit dropdown.

Please Welcome… Barbara Sicuso Director of Registration B.A.A.

Runner Registration Things to keep in mind –Your packet will contain extra invitational entry forms. –Individual entry forms only become official when you place a sticker on it. –Faxed or copied forms will be accepted by BAA, but it is not the preferred method. –YOU send the forms in one packet to Hopkinton (Blacking out existing form remittance info not a bad idea). –Please copy all forms and keep them on file. –Strongly encourage use of a mailing service that will provide a tracking number.

Please Welcome… Thomas Crohan AVP & Counsel John Hancock
