There is no age requirement to participate but you must be 13 or older to have your own fundraising page. If you are are under 13, please have one of your parents sign up and create the fundraising page for you to use. Adults are welcome to be volunteer mowers too.
When you register it will automatically prompt you to create your page by clicking a big orange button at the bottom of the last registration screen. We encourage you to customize your page with a picture and your own story of why you are participating in the event.
YES! This is one of the best ways to let others know about your service and how to donate to your campaign. We encourage you and other family members to share the campaign on all social media platforms. Make sure you include a link to your personal fundraising page too.
YES! We know some people will hear about your campaign and just want to support your efforts to raise funds for the Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter and we appreciate any and all support.
YES! Every personal fundraising page needs a unique email address OR you can sign up with one email and make the page a family page that all family members can use for fundraising.
Visit our Fundraising Tips page for ideas and make sure you always include your fundraising page link and contact information in any correspondence.
We suggest you ask the homeowner to make a donation amount of their choice but you are welcome to set whatever amount you would like on each yard if you prefer.
The easiest way is to provide the link to your personal fundraising page so they can donate directly on that with a credit or debit card. If they prefer to write a check please have it payable to NWACS and put your name in the memo line and then mail them end at the end of your campaign (there is a place in your personal page to add cash and check donations). Last option is a Venmo donation at @NWACS and make sure they put your name in the "What's it for?" area.
