Guests can register one of three ways.

  • Create a team and sign up as team captain. Make sure team members know the name of the group so they can also sign up under that team.
  • Sign up as a team member. Join your designated team and fundraise with your group.
  • Sign up as an individual. This is the option to fundraise and improve children’s lives without having to attend in person.


Capacity will be capped at 20 teams of 8-10 people. Upon registration, participant are required to give a $12 donation that will be counted towards the team’s total. (Teams should raise at least $100.)

Halloween costumes are encouraged. Teams can win prizes from local businesses for top trivia, best dressed and highest fundraising total.
