FAQ’s

  • Volunteer Ticket Policy
    All volunteers are required to purchase a ticket to attend Camp for a Cure. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide full refunds to ticket holders who decide to volunteer. However, as a thank you for your time and commitment, volunteers who successfully complete all of their assigned shifts, and who have not been removed from duties due to misconduct or non-compliance, will receive a 25% refund on their ticket price after the event concludes. Please allow 14 business days after the event for this refund to be processed.
