• Be sure to thank the businesses who have supported your cause.

• Promote the thinknlocal movement to your friends and family to maximize the impact we will have in the community.

• Always demonstrate your community pride by conducting yourself with integrity.

The organization will receive 100% of the proceeds minus a credit card transaction fee of 10%.

• Fundraise a minimum of $100. *If $100 is not achieved, monies are forfeited and we reserve the right to withhold payment from the organization.

We reserve the right to cancel your fundraiser at any time with cause. If a business does not pay their give back invoice we reserve the right to reduce the amount of the monies earned.
