Frequently Asked questions
Who can Participate?
Anyone! We are encouraging local and corporate businesses of any kind to participate, but anyone can jump. Just raise the $500 minimum (or more!) and you're ready for your jump.
Will I get to Bungy Jump?
The team members are fundraising for the opportunity to nominate the boss for a bungy jump.
When and Where Do I Toss My Boss?
The event will take place at WildPlay, Nanaimo. You will be given a time slot on event day.
How Many Team Members Should I Have? Should I Include my Boss?
Yes, make sure to include your boss in your team. There is no maximum for the number of team members that can join in and cheer the boss on. The more the merrier!
How Do I Register my Company?
First, make sure your company team has not already been registered by another team member. If your team has already been registered, refer to 'How to Join a Company Team' listed below. If your team has not been registered, click the 'Sign Up' tab, and click 'Create a Team' and fill out the form with your company information. Once your company team has been approved, you can begin building your company profile, as well as your participant profile.
How Can I join my Company Team?
Follow the 'Sign Up' tab and click 'Join a Team.' Find your company name and click 'Join this Team.' You can then fill out the form to begin building your participant profile. The nominated boss and every team member must register in order to participate.
How Do I Collect Donations?
You can send out your profile link to friends and family by using any of the social media platform links on your participant profile page. Try to send out the link using your participant profile within your company team, rather than using the link to your team profile. This helps to track the donations that you advertised for and assign them to your participant profile. However, if you advertise the link to your company team profile, donors can also assign their donations to the participants in the team. You can also get some fundraising tips using the 'How to Get Started' packet under 'Tips & Tools' once your profile is created. Remember, the individual who fundraised the most in the competition will receive a grand prize so it is important to correctly assign your donations.
How to Build my Profile?
You can find some tips for getting your fundraising campaign started using the 'How to Get Started' link under 'Tips & Tools' once you create your profile. Remember, an eye-catching profile goes a long way, so make sure to include pictures and a personal story.
What is the Minimum Amount I should Fundraise? What If I Exceed the Minimum Amount?
The company team must fundraise a collective minimum of $500 in order to nominate their boss for a bungy jump. There is no minimum requirement for each participant to raise as long as this minimum goal is met. However, to encourage teams and individuals to raise more money beyond the minimum requirement, we have included some exciting grand prizes for the top fundraisers.
Who Gets a Prize? What are the Prizes?
Prizes will be given to top fundraising teams. Stay tuned for more information!
My Boss 'Chickened Out.' Now What?
If the boss of your company team declines to bungy jump, they may either abstain from the bungy jump entirely or nominate a teammate to take their place. If either of these options is selected, the company will be required to double its donation to a maximum of an additional $1000. This ensures that companies will not be penalized for fundraising beyond the minimum amount.
