There will be an official\u00a0Newbie Reception<\/b>\u00a0with yummy toasts between 5:45-6:15pm that includes a few PTP shenanigans<\/li>\n
  2. Our official\u00a0Weekend at a Glance<\/b>\u00a0will be released on June 30. We\u2019ve had to make some small changes to the schedule and update a few explanations so please make sure you read this when we post it.<\/li>\n
  3. Our official\u00a02025 App<\/b>\u00a0should be available by Sept 1 and we will email yall as soon as it is live.<\/li>\n
  4. A reminder that our\u00a0deadline for EVERYTHING this year is September 15 at noon eastern.<\/b>a. Whatever your fundraising total is at this time will determine what\u00a0prizes<\/a><\/u><\/b>\u00a0you receive (we need time to order everything and get organized behind the scenes). So please don\u2019t wait too long with your ingenious fundraising events!b. Your\u00a0bib data<\/b>\u00a0needs to be 100% correct including name, hometown, shirt size, newbie status, food preferences, survivor status, prize opt-in or out, and any bus tickets you RSVP for or Dataw parking space you won at the auction. All of this information can be verified in your dashboard.\n

    c. Don\u2019t know if you signed up for buses or bingo or parking spots? Check out these\u00a0weekly-updated Rosters<\/a><\/u><\/b>\u00a0in your dashboard.<\/li>\n

  5. Bringing friends\/family to cheer you on? Everyone is invited to join our festivities and funny activities! Guest lunch tickets will be available for purchase at the event.<\/li>\n
  6. For our Newbies, while Sept 15 is your fundraising deadline to receive specific prizes,\u00a0our 2025 bank account will accept all donations through Oct 31 at 11:59 eastern<\/b>.\u00a0Then the pages will reset and all future donations go to our 2026 campaign!Psst – the board normally votes on how to distribute the funds to the pre-approved charities in mid November and then checks will likely be mailed in mid-late December.\u00a0<\/i>Submit your charity to the board for approval here<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n
  7. Speaking of 2026, we will announce next year\u2019s location immediately after our survivor celebration at Dataw (appx 12:45pm).<\/b>\u00a0You\u2019ll want to be there to get the info first so you can not only register at the cheapest price, but then you can also book your accommodations before the masses snag the good stuff!
