Common Questions

Sponsor FAQ

When will my card actually be charged? +
Your card is pre-authorized at sign-up but only charged when your walker clicks "I'm Finished" — the final confirmation button in their dashboard. If your walker completes 8 miles, you pay for 8 miles (capped at 15 miles maximum).
What if my walker doesn't finish? +
If a walker doesn't complete any miles and never presses "I'm Finished," you are not charged. If they walk some miles and finish early, you're charged for the miles they actually completed.
How does the 1-for-1 match work? +
Our three founding sponsors — Ford, Cracker Barrel, and Bud Light — have each committed to matching all walker-raised dollars 1-for-1. So if all walkers collectively raise $2.25M, each founding sponsor adds another $750K. Your individual dollars are tripled at the campaign level.
Is my donation tax-deductible? +
Yes. Finish This Fight Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. You'll receive a receipt for your records.
Can I sponsor multiple walkers? +
Absolutely. You can sponsor as many walkers as you'd like. Each sponsorship is managed separately — your pledge, miles, and charges are tracked independently for each walker.
Can I make a one-time gift instead of a per-mile pledge? +
Yes. On the sponsor page you can choose to make a flat one-time donation to a specific walker's fundraising page rather than pledging per mile. One-time gifts are processed immediately.

Be Part of a Hero's Story
