Example of Donation Breakdown:

• You raise $300 in Donations
• 10% =  $30 = Vendor Fee to Hour-A-Thon.
• After the vendor fee is paid, $270 is what is paid to the club and that is where the below percentages are divided up.
• 40% = $108 = Goes into YOUR Team Account
• 60% = $162 = Goes into the FKK Scholarship Fund

This is an exciting set up for the teams! A live feed from the Hour-A-Thon staff will be running each session and motivating the players — giveaways and refreshments during each session too!
