How do I register for the Welcome to The 2015 Torch Relay for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals! online?

Do I need to join a team to register?

The website does not list the location for my event. When will this info be available?

Because the details for local events can sometimes change due to circumstances beyond our control, not all of the event locations can be posted in advance. However, the specific location for each city will be posted no later than 45-days prior to the event. You will also receive an email confirmation to confirm your specific meeting time and location at least two weeks in advance.  

 

 

 

 

What is the $20 registration fee used for and does it count toward my fundraising goal?

The event registration fee is utilized to help off-set of event expenses.  While The Torch Relay team is committed to keeping costs down, there are some operational expenses which are unfortunately not donated by our sponsors and partners.  However, once the registration fee is paid, 100% of every dollar you raise goes to your local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
