Quick answer

Use it to register runners and walkers while capturing the money side of the event: distance, team, personal fundraising goal and sponsor pledges with thanks-consent, so finish-line reporting and sponsor shout-outs assemble themselves.

💡

About this template

A charity run is two events: the race and the fundraising. This sign-up registers the first and powers the second — distance or session, team color, personal fundraising goal, sponsor pledges with consent to be thanked — so when race day ends you already know who beat their target and which companies owe a shout-out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a sign-up form double as a fundraising tool?
Because it captures the goal and the pledge ledger while enthusiasm is highest — the runner's stated target and each sponsor's consent to be thanked are the two hooks peer-to-peer fundraising runs on.
Is this different from the fundraiser event sign-up?
Yes. That form books tiers and tables for a gala or dinner; this one registers athletes and their sponsor networks for a run or walk.
Do you collect payments here?
No — entries record goals and pledges; money moves through your own payment channel.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace, set categories and teams, reuse each season.
Can teams register in bulk?
Captains register the team; each runner still completes their own entry for goal tracking.
What happens to sponsor contact info?
Consent is ticked per sponsor at sign-up; public thanks only where permission was given.
