FAQ:
Why do we fundraise?
In addition to our registration fees (with CHWC), we also have a number of transportation costs and overall trip expenses. Fundraising also allows us to keep the costs lower for each person registering AND support those who are in need of a scholarship.
What if I am unable to attend one of the fundraising dates?
Our fundraising efforts impact everyone. So, if you are unable to make it to any of the fundraising dates, we ask that you (1) find a substitute to fill in for you or (2) work a double shift on another fundraising date. If you do not find a sub or work a double shift, you will be charged a $50 non-participation fee. We will NOT be accepting monetary donations in place of fundraising time/efforts as these events are part of your commitment to the service opportunity as a whole. Please let Glenda Trytko know when conflicts arise and keep open communication!
Who is invited to go to CHWC?
