2.  Is there a registration fee?

Yes.  The minimum registration fee is $25 to begin fundraising, enter the online contests, and get other registration benefits.  

 

Don’t be afraid to ask your friends, co-workers, and family for their support so you can help support shelter pets and be eligible for great prizes!  

 

Online Registration fees must be paid using a major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express).

 

3. How can my sponsors submit payment?
Online contributions can be made by credit card directly on your personalized fundraising page.  You can also collect cash or checks directly from your sponsors (see next question).

 

4.  I collected cash and check donations. What do I do with them?

In addition to fundraising online, you may collect cash and check donations!  If you do, please place cash or checks you collect in an envelop along with the offline donation form and be sure your sponsors make checks payable to "Friends of Upland Animal Shelter".  Drop off your offline donations at 2nd Chance Thrift Shop at 972 W. 9th Street by Wednesday, November 3rd by 5:00 p.m. to be sure offline donations are recorded in time for prize awards.  Offline donations with valid email addresses will be manually entered into the Fundraiser Event Website (Wizathon), and receipts will automatically sent to the email address we receive with the donation.

 

5. Is there a refund/exchange policy?

Yes. If a donation was made accidentally or for the wrong amount, simply make us aware of the issue and we will be happy to make any necessary refunds, changes or corrections. Registration fees are not refundable.
