CHARITY:
This event we're raising money for Starlight Children's Foundation
https://www.starlight.org/

Starlight delivers happiness to seriously ill children and their families at more than 800 children's hospitals and healthcare facilities across the US.

Starlight programs include Starlight Gaming, Virtual Reality, better hospital gowns, toys, books, and arts and crafts. They can turn a hospitalized kid’s feelings of being overwhelmed and stressed out into hours of fun by providing them with the best in entertainment, education, and one-of-a-kind experiences — because a hospitalized kid is still a kid.

Schedule Release: Shortly after submission deadline.
The schedule will be available at our new schedule website: https://s.ftlg.org

Incorrect availability times may result in an incorrect time-slot, so make sure your availability is correct, as we cannot guarantee your run after incorrectly setting your available times. We will do our best, but cannot guarantee it. The shorter the availability window are, the harder it is for us to make this work too.

  Your Responsibilities: Be prepared, if problems arise please let any of the staff know in good time (DM in Discord to any of the staff members) so we can attend to the issues, act decently (we have no problem with you swearing or anything, just don't be a jerk & refrain from talking politics), keep an eye on the schedule if any changes will occur (also check Discord from time to time for the same reasons), Be ready for your run before the previous one ends.

If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to contact any of the staff members!
