Am I required to fundraise a minimum amount?
No, there is no minimum. We simply encourage each team member to set their goals high, and then let your friends know about brain tumors and why you would like to help the National Brain Tumor Society.
-
Is there a registration fee?
Registration fees may vary and are determined by the event you choose to join. NBTS does not require a registration fee to join our program or use our online fundraising pages. Your desire to make a difference in the fight against brain tumors is all we ask!

We encourage you to get together with friends to increase your impact and to build your ability to generate publicity and funds.
