Raise $5,000 as a team and receive a free 10’ x 10’ tent in our
TEAM VILLAGE
Bring your lawn chairs and coolers and use your tent as a
meeting point before the walk and a place to hang out and
relax after the walk.
Don’t raise enough money to earn a tent?
You can still reserve a team tent for $100!
The best part is you don’t have to set anything up,
just come and enjoy!
