Incentives Terms and Conditions
Please note our tier disclaimer:
Incentives are awarded based on the highest tier you achieve, and incentives from lower tiers are not included. For example, if you raise $300 and qualify for the third tier, you will only receive the third-tier incentive, not the items from the first or second tiers. This approach allows us to allocate resources efficiently and ensure a meaningful thank-you for your fundraising efforts.

After the event concludes, you can claim your incentives by filling out a simple form. This must be done by June 8, 2025. The form will ask for your contact information and proof of fundraising, such as screenshots from your fundraising page or donation receipts. Once submitted, our team will verify your information and arrange for your incentives to be delivered. Incentive codes will be distributed no later than June 23, 2025. If you have earned an incentive, you will receive an email with a unique code that you can use online to claim your reward.
