What is Lose it and Gain?
This is a combined effort of FGP and Mac Church of Fidelity Bank Mortgage in Fredericksburg. This challenge is to promote health and wellness while raising money for FGP!
How does it work?
It is simple! Set a weight loss goal by February 1st, take a photo of your scale and sign up to participate. To sign up, you will pay a $25 fee to enter or $15 fee to enter if you are a member of a gym (this fee will cover your participation t-shirt and challenger coin). If you sign up to participate, you get to seek out supporters to pledge funds to FGP based on your weight loss. They can pledge per pound or pledge a flat amount.
Are there prizes?
Of course! What fun would a contest be without prizes? Top 3 Donation winners and Top 3 weight loss winners receive prizes (we are still working on this part but promise it will be worth your efforts) and Special prize to the male and female who lose the most pounds.
Plus there will be an award's banquet for all participants.
How are winners determined?
Each Participant will send in a photo of their scale of original weigh in and final weigh in. Weight loss winners will be determined by % of weight lost.
When and how do we sign up?
Now through January 31 by going to this page.
What are the contest dates?
February 1- March 31
When and how do we have people sign up for pledges?
You can sign them up or they can do it themselves on our Lose it and Gain Pledge Form Page. There is a link to our paypal account on the page where donations can be made specifically for this event!
At the end of the contest, you will have two weeks to collect donations from pledge
sponsors who may pay online using paypal or send a check to FGP. All information about donating including addresses is found on our Donate Now page! All donations to be collected by April 13th.
How will I know if I won?
Winners Announcement is April 18th!
