2026 Summit for Life

Fundraising Deadlines

Each participant has a minimum fundraising commitment of $100 by 5 pm on November 30th. Participants that go above and beyond have the chance to win prizes for being the top fundraiser!  Your registration fee also gets refunded when you fundraise more than $1,000. 

Registered participants who do not reach the $100 fundraising minimum by November 30th will be charged the remaining funds. If you sign up after December 1st, your fundraising minimum will be included in your registration.  

Cancellation / Drop Out 

• Summit for Life is a fundraising race, and therefore CKF does not offer refunds or transfers of either registration or fundraising. 

• You are responsible for meeting the minimum regardless if you participate or not. 

How Is Your Fundraising Used?

All 2026 Summit for Life fundraising goes toward the Chris Klug Foundation. We are extremely grateful for all the efforts you put into fundraising for our organization. We may be small, but we are mighty, and your support gives us that strength. To learn more about where your donations go, please visit https://www.chrisklugfoundation.org/accountability.

Tips for Fundraising

As a nonprofit, we get it: asking for money is hard! This is why we have created our very own Summit for Life Fundraising guide with all of the tips and tricks to raise the most, as well as the facts about organ, eye, and tissue donation.

Team Fundraising

You can create a fundraising team to work together to achieve your fundraising goals. Here are a few highlights surrounding your fundraising team.

• If you receive a donation to your individual fundraiser, it will be reflected on your team fundraiser.

• If you receive a donation to your team fundraiser, it will NOT be reflected on your individual page. Our team will calculate all team donations and divide them equally amongst the team at the end.

• If another member of your team goes above and beyond on their individual fundraiser, that does not count towards other team members' fundraising. If you would like to cover the fundraising for your team, please donate to the team fundraiser to see if it is divided amongst everyone.
