FAQ’s:

What if I don’t meet the minimum fundraising?

As a member of the Jack’s Team, we’re counting on you to fulfill your event’s stated fundraising minimum. Remember, it’s not just a race – you’re helping save lives! We’re also bound by our mission and by our agreement with each race event, so we have an obligation to enforce these minimum fundraising commitments.That’s why, if you don’t reach your goal, you will be required to make a personal donation to fulfill the balance. Your credit card will be charged for any balance at the conclusion of the event.

The specific date that your card will be charged is determined by the specific Jack’s Fund guidelines for your event.

But don’t worry – raising money is way easier than you think, so this shouldn’t be a problem for you.

Be sure to take advantage of the many tools and tips we offer to help you meet your fundraising goals.

What if I get injured:

Once you commit to your fundraising minimum, participants are expected to reach the minimum regardless of injury or if you decide to participate in the event.
