FAQ

The only way to reserve your shift is by first raising your $500 minimum. At that point, you’ll be automatically emailed a link to register for the day of your choosing (as long as there are still shifts available).

The faster everyone on your team can reach their fundraising minimums, the better chance you have to build on the same day.

If you fundraise quickly, you shouldn’t have a problem registering for the same day. We’ll do what we can to move shifts around so that a single person isn’t left out, but we can’t guarantee anything! The number of shifts available each day is set to ensure every participant has safe and meaningful work to do.
