No. Registration is free. If you'd like, you can start your fundraising off strong with a donation of your own during sign-up, but it isn't required.
No. Walks are open to the public, and all are encouraged to join in. This is just to help us predict attendance — if you change your mind, feel free to show up for just some, none, or every one!
Yes! When you register, you'll be asked to choose one walk (or the "Fundraise for EFC" option) initially. After you've registered, just go to the "Walk" tab in the top navigation bar, choose the additional event you're interested in, and click "Register".
Yes! When you register, choose the "Fundraise for EFC" option.
If you've ever registered for an event using the OneCause platform — including previous Rise Together campaigns or events for other organizations — you already have a OneCause user profile. Click the "forgot password" option on the login screen if you need a reset.
Yes. During registration, you'll be given the option to register additional participants as event attendees. However, if they would like to manage their own page, they will need to contact event staff directly at KimberlyK@ElizabethFreemanCenter.org to gain access, or register independently.
No, unless you would like to create a Facebook fundraiser to share with friends on social media that connects back to your page.
Yes. Leashed, well-behaved pets are welcome anywhere they'd normally be allowed. Just be aware that crowds and noise are part of the event, so more skittish critters may be happier at home.
Pre-made signs are available (to borrow) at every Rise Together community walk. If you're the crafty type, you can also make your own sign at home and bring it with you. (Remember this is an all-ages event, so try to keep the messages family-friendly, please!)
Once you register, you'll get your own One Cause page where you can display your progress, share your story, and collect donations online. You'll also have options to start a Facebook fundraiser, reach out to family and friends via email or text, and host a fundraising event of your own. Call us at 413-499-2425 if you need help or want us to send you information.
Why can't I send email messages from my OneCause page?
To prevent spam, profiles cannot send emails directly from OneCause until they have received at least one donation - either from the profile owner, or someone else. If you have not received a donation yet and would like this option unlocked, contact Kim K. at KimberlyK@ElizabethFreemanCenter.org.
Yes! Donations by check should be made out to Elizabeth Freeman Center and mailed to Elizabeth Freeman Center, 66 Allen St., Pittsfield, MA 01201. Make sure the person donating includes your or your team's name in the "Note" field on the check or on a separate piece of paper, so that we know who to credit their donation to!
