Donations and Fundraising

However, if a participant is not regularly communicating their fundraising progress/strategy with the Think Pink Rocks Co-Captain, the Co-Captain has the discretion to cancel event entry and charge their credit card the fees associated with canceling their entry.
Think Pink Rocks Co-Captain reserves the right to charge the remaining fundraising balance to a participant if the registration deadline has passed or if they have stopped communicating with the Co-Captain at any time or if they have stopped actively fundraising for the event.
