Remember, it isn't too late to register. Click the link below to read about how you can get involved by pledging a donation. A pledge is $5 each, you can pledge as many times as you'd like, and to whichever teams you'd like. Finally, our fundraiser has officially surpassed the $500 threshold, meaning that we can now award the gourmet chocolate dipped strawberries to the donor that helped get past that amount. Competition is still fierce and the battle is on to find out who will win the coveted smart television grand prize. Our affiliate has received three additional prizes donated for certain benchmarks in participation for the fundraiser, meaning members and guests are able to win a prize just for entering your name in the game. As a reminder, here are the current prize giveaways:

  2.  Gourmet Chocolate Cheesecake (Awarded to the Team Owner that Raises the Most Money)
