EVENT FAQs

REGISTRATION

 
  • What states/territories are holding face-to-face events?

    We have location sites in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this year. If you can’t make it to one of our event locations, you can choose to Unite Your Way or join others in your local community at one of our special Pop-Up locations!

  • How do I register for a face-to-face event?

    Simply view the dates and locations for our face-to-face events and register for your preferred location on our event page. Can’t get to one of our face-to-face events? Register to Unite your Way or our Pop-Up events.

    Registrations for Unite your Way is FREE!

    Cost to attend a physical event are listed below:

    Entry Age Category Cost per person

  • Is there a family deal?

    Yes! Register 2 x Adults and up to 5 x Children (5-17 yrs) for $100. Additional adults will be charged the full rate.

  • Is the cost of registration tax deductible?

    All donations of $2.00 or more are tax deductible when the donor receives nothing of value. However, should you purchase a raffle ticket, an entry ticket to a fundraising event, or merchandise, this is not tax deductible. For more information about taxable donations, please contact the Australian Tax Office.

  • Can I register as a team?

    Yes! During registration you will be asked to if you want to create a team, join a team, or you can simply fundraise as an individual.

  • I need assistance with my individual/team fundraising page. What should I do?

    If you’re having problems registering, please contact Go Fundraise Support Team on 1300 889 272 or support@gofundraise.com.au

  • What should I do if I can no longer participate in the event?

    Unfortunately, entry fees are not refundable or transferable if you are no longer able to participate, although in exceptional circumstances, we may be able to transfer your registration to a friend, family member, or colleague. Please let us know via support@pancareuniteforhope.com.au or 1300 881 698 so we can update our records.

COVID–19

 
  • Are the Unite for Hope face-to-face events COVID safe?

    Our COVID Safe plan complies with the latest government health guidelines in each capital city. We will monitor any updates and advice from the relevant authorities to ensure our event day complies. This varies across each event site so please check your local event page for further details.

  • What if the face-to-face event gets cancelled?

    Your registration fee will be converted to a donation should we have to cancel one of our face-to-face events due to COVID-19. We do not provide refunds. These funds will help cover non-recoverable costs of the event and go toward research to save lives. If you have already registered for a face-to-face event, luckily, we have a contingency plan in place with our DIY option and we can simply rollover your face-to-face registration to our DIY event!

EVENT DAY (MELBOURNE, SYDNEY & BRISBANE)

 
  • Can I register on the day of the event?

    Registrations on the day will not be offered to help manage crowd density, maximise contactless procedures, and minimise risk. All participants are required to register online prior to the event.

     

  • Can I bring my dog to the event?

    You are permitted to bring your four-legged friend to Melbourne and Brisbane, however, consider those around you by keeping your pooch on a leash at all times and cleaning up after your fur baby. Regretfully if you have registered for our Sydney based location, this event takes place in a Wildlife Protection Area, so sadly no dogs can attend.

     

  • Is there parking available?

    This varies across each event site so please check your local event page for details. We do encourage you to take public transport where possible.

     

  • What happens if it rains?

    Our face-to-face events will still go ahead, rain, hail or shine, unless there is a significant danger to participants because of lightning, storms, or strong winds. Participants should be prepared for all weather conditions - bring your raincoat and a smile. You will be advised if we need to reschedule our event due to inclement weather (but keep your fingers crossed for good weather).

     

  • Are the face-to-face events accessible for prams and wheelchairs?

    Yes! We’ve made sure that all our event courses are accessible for prams and wheelchairs. Some courses do have minor bumps or may encounter sections of loose gravel so be mindful of your ability to manoeuvre on various surfaces. Please refer to your local event page for accessibility details.

     

  • I’d like to volunteer - where do I go for more information?

FUNDRAISING

 
  • Can you tell me how much of the funds raised goes directly to Pancare Foundation?

    All proceeds from fundraising go towards providing vital patient support services and channelling funds into research for early detection and new treatments. You can be assured that every single dollar helps!

  • What is the best way to fundraise?

    Asking people to donate can feel a bit overwhelming, but you’ll be surprised at how simple it is and how supportive your family, friends and colleagues are when you’re supporting a great cause. The simplest way to fundraise is to ask people to donate to your fundraising page that is provided to you at the time of registering for the event. Have a look at our fundraising checklist here for some great ideas.

  • Workplace giving

    Workplace giving is an easy way to donate direct from your salary. Most companies match donations, so it’s also an easy way to double your fundraising amount! When you visit your fundraising page, you’ll see a pay button. If your employer (or your supporters’ employer) appears in the list, then you can donate through your pay, pre-tax, through Workplace Giving.
