BENEFITS OF RAISING FUNDS

1. You are raising money to help support volunteer search and rescue training. Krista and many others were inspired and trained to be leaders, skilled outdoorsmen, and selfless search and rescue personnel at the Civil Air Patrol Hawk Mountain Search and Rescue School.

2. You are helping yourself by raising funds to allow you to race for free.

3. You will be educating the public about adventure racing and about volunteer search and rescue, as these questions will often be asked when you approach someone for aid. It's a great way to spread news about both these topics.

HOW DO TEAMS RAISE MONEY FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE?

Adventure racers have a unique opportunity to raise money for volunteer search and rescue, and race for free!

 For every $100 each racer raises, $10 will be deducted from your registration fee.

Simply ask friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. to help sponsor you in the event. Explain to them that you are doing a 12 hour adventure race (which will usually lead to the conversation of what is adventure racing - so you get to do some education about the sport)

Ask them to pledge to you a set amount that they feel comfortable with. Fill out the pledge sheet .  If they choose to pay by check, ask them to make the check out to "Pennsylvania Wing Civil Air Patrol" This is a tax-deductible donation.

Bring your pledge sheet and your collected monies with you to race registration. We will then deduct the appropriate amounts from your registration fee, and return it to you.

 You and your team must pre-register for the race, and pay the entry fee ahead of time. Any funds that should be returned to you will be done so at the date of the race.
