A Cottage by the Sea Winter Warmers scarf will be sent to all registered fundraisers i.e. a solo participant or a Team Captain on the team registration when $50 is raised! Please note scarfs will not be given to a donor of your page but as a reward to you as the individual who set up the fundraiser page either as a solo fundraiser or as a Team Captain. You will be able to purchase a scarf on behalf of your donors for $25 each plus postage to each registered fundraiser. Each fundraiser will be emailed an option to purchase additional scarfs before their personal scarf is mailed out.
