Registration and Fundraising: 

Incredibly the youth raised over  $5,000 last year!!!

 Do you think they can reach 10,000!?!

This year we have decided to eliminate team registration/ fundraising and keep it to individual registrations; this way everyone gets an equal opportunity to receive the top prize for the most funds raised. 

 All funds raised will be kept within the community allowing the community and youth-serving agencies to further develop and implement youth programming. 

Any amount raised allows youth to participate in the wake-a-thon event and activities!  

There will be prizes for the youth with the most money raised for the event (1st, 2nd, 3rd); to be considered for the top three prizes categories for most money raised, individuals must raise a minimum of $200.
