Fundraising
Participation is free. Fundraising is voluntary — and it trains instructors.
Three Levels
Level 1 — Individual Fundraiser
You create a personal fundraising page, share it with friends and family, and collect donations for instructor training.
Level 2 — Fundraising Team
Several fundraisers unite around a shared goal — a club, a company department, a community. Team totals, team leaderboard.
Level 3 — Umbrella Fundraising Team
An umbrella unites multiple teams: a national organization with regional teams, a corporation with employee teams, an impact initiative with community teams.

Fundraising Is Voluntary
Donating never affects competition eligibility. You can race, rank and earn recognition without raising a cent. Fundraising exists around participation — never as a condition of it.
