Fundraising Toolkit

SNOW CLIMBING - JUST FUNDRAISE

Has the daunting task of summiting and plummeting the tubing hill at Mount Kato kept you away from Climb in the past?

In groups of 5-10, you can still participate in the FUN of fundraising on behalf of FOCP and Climb 2 Feed Kids, without climbing Mount Kato’s tubing hill.

How Can I Participate?

Commit to Fundraising ($1,500 goal, minimum of $1,000)
Receive limited edition C2FK Swag
Optional - Go Above & Beyond (raise $2,000+) and receive swag

Who Is This Option Good For?

You want to help your community, but are busy on February 1st
You only have 5 members and DO NOT want to climb that hill twice
You would rather cheer on other teams than summit and plummet

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

Check out this Fundraising Toolkit to help your team raise funds!
