Why do I have to pay a registration Fee and what does it cover? 

 

Like any event, there is a cost associated to orchestrate it. We have structured the event so organizations that participate have no financial liability. The event organizers have carefully structured the cost so that 100% of the pledges go back to the organizations and the PTA Council. Your registration fee includes:Printed T-shirts, Water at break areas, it covers our insurance, security where needed, advertising costs, printed materials, legal costs, accounting costs, web site hosting, intellectual property, park fees if applicable and much more. Without going into specific details of our financials, we have structured the registration fee to allow for maximum participation. Plan Ahead Events / AD-vantage Promotions is a For Profit organization and has additional administrative costs that also need to be absorbed from the registration fees.
