Q: What do I do if someone wants to pay with a Check or Cash?
A: Good question!
Please enter the donation online at apexfunrun.com with your child's access code so that they receive credit (and prizes!) for the pledge! After the Fun Run is over, your child will be sent home with a collection envelope to bring in the cash/checks.
Q: What do I do if I don't have someone's email or phone number?
A: If the person making the donation intends to pay online, try to get their email address. After the Fun Run is over, an email will be sent to everyone letting them know they can complete their payment either online or via check. BUT, if you still don't have an email or phone number, enter in your own email address & phone number.
Q: Do all of our Pledges have to be "Per Lap"?
A: No! You or family/friends/coworkers can choose to give a "Flat Donation". This means that you can donate a flat amount, such as $20, and even if your child runs 36 laps, you will only pay $20. Just select "Flat Donation" when entering your pledge online.
Q: What if I can't contribute financially?
A: No problem! Your child will still receive all of the daily lessons, bracelets, and a Fun Run t-shirt! And if you'd like to volunteer your time, we need as many helpers as we can get on the day of the Fun Run to help mark laps on t-shirts and pass out water! Sign up to volunteer below
