The marathon will begin at 2 PM, Friday June 1st, and will go until 7 PM, June 4th. During specific times, donators will be eligible to win prizes. For every $5 a person donates, their name will be added to a raffle. For example, if you donate $25, your name will be added to the raffle five times. All United States residents will get free shipping; donors outside the United States will be asked to pay for shipping. The times which prizes will be handed out are labeled on their schedule in creme color. | ||
