FAQ
We're so glad you'll be joining us for the 17th Annual Walk for Autism-Virginia! Please read the FAQs and How-to's below, and let us know if you have any other questions! Contact director@asnv.org with any questions.
Do I need to register to participate?
Everyone must register if they wan to attend the event for the activities and/or walk.If you want to only support financially and not attend the event, then you can provide a donation and not register for the event.
What is a fundraising page and how do I create one?
Everyone that registers for the event has an opportunity to add a donation, create an individual fundraising page, and create or join a team fundraising page. Individuals now are automatically turned into a fundraiser page when registering. If you do not see your name/fundraising page under your team, email us and we can fix that. If you create a team fundraising page, then others can have their donations collected go to support that team's fundraising page as well. Also, this is a way to see who has registered for your team.
The individual fundraising page shows one person's efforts in fundraising. The team fundraising page collects all of the individual fundraising efforts under one umbrella of a team fundraising. For instance, when I register and create an individual fundraising page and tagged it to a team page, when someone donates to my individual page, the amount they donate will show under both the individual page and the team page. If you have created a team fundraising page, make sure to tell others in your network to mark your team down when they go through registration using the provided drop down menu.

Do registration fees count towards my team total?
Registration fees to raise funds for the event, but they don't directly count towards team or individual fundraising. RunSIgnUp does not have this feature to include registration fees for those on your team to count towards your team's fundraising goal. We will try to do this manually but it is tricky. We will provide awards to the teams with the highest participants. If you have a question or think something is missing, please email director@asnv.org.
How do I register for the walk?
To register for the Walk, click on the Sign Up button and complete the registration information. You will able to register more than one person and for each person you will be able to choose a t-shirt size and choose what team or fundraising page (if any) you’d like your fundraising to count toward.
How much money do I have to raise?
There is NO fundraising minimum, so set your goal to whatever you feel comfortable with!
Are there prizes?
YES! Prizes will be announced soon, but we award prizes for the team that raises the most money, the biggest team, and the team with the best team spirit! In addition, there are recognition levels for teams who raise $500, $1000 and $2000.
If I'm asking people to donate, should I send them to my individual page or my team's page?
This is up to you totally. If you have your individual fundraising page aligned with your team page, anyone that donates towards your individual page will also count towards your team's fundraising goal. One idea for maximizing profits is to have different individuals create individual pages and then compete to see who can raise the most money for their team page.
I still can't figure this out. Who should I contact?
If you have questions about the registration or team set-up process, please email director@asnv.org.
