Step-by-Step Instructions
General Information
Thank you for joining the American Indian Cancer
Foundation for the 2015 Powwow for Hope Campaign!
• Each person who is participating in fundraising needs
to register online by March 31st.
– In order to receive a t-shirt, each team must fundraise at
least $20 per person.
• Use this guide to help you create your account and join
a team.
– Each person must first register as an individual
“Fundraiser” before joining or creating a “Team”.
(“Teams” are comprised of “fundraisers”.)
– Each “Team” needs to designate a “Team Captain”. This
person will create the Team and be the main contact for
the team.

• All online donations will be charged a
processing additional fee by the website,
either paid by the donator or by AICAF. Cash
