Marching for Martinez

Denver Walk

Notes on site mechanics

Here's some FAQs on confusing site features/mechanics.

Question: Who do I contact for questions about this fundraiser or when meeting up the day of the event?

Answer: I (Aaron) can be reached at 720-500-4974. You can either call or text (preferred). Be sure to include your name in the message. 

Question: Why are there two places to donate? E.g. My profile page and the Team page.

Answer: If you send someone your personal profile page, they can donate there and you will be given "credit" for that donation (it'll show up as "Raised so far..." on the Team page team members section). However, a person can directly donate to the Team page as well. So, either case works, it's just more a "credit/attribution" feature. You can donate to your own profile or the team one as well.

Question: Where do I find information on the walk?

Answer: Click on the "Denver Walk" link near the username (if on a user profile) or near the team name (if on the team profile). If you're on the mobile version of the site, for some reason this disappears, but I was able to find the walk info by just tapping on the "Lustgarten" logo at the top of the page.

Question: How to join our team?

Answer: If you would like to join our team, click on the "My Team" link near a user's profile name (assuming you're on a user profile). On the team page there's a "Join Us" link prompting you to register. You can sign up there. 

Question: How do I register my children or on someone else's behalf?

Answer: Note that you can register others and manage their accounts when registering, but it's a bit confusing, and if you forget to do this during your registration you can't add them later. Here's how to do it: After entering your information during registration, the next section should be about registering others. You can click the "Add" button to add someone else. If you select the "I wish to manage this account" checkbox, you will be able to manage their account for them from your menu on the top right menu once your account is created, it'll say "Switch Users". If you don't select this checkbox, I'm not actually sure what actually happens lol. I'm guessing it sends them an email to finish registering. Also, unfortunately you can't delete your account and "start over" if you've skipped this process the first time around...ya, I know ಠ__ಠ

In Honor of Lost Family Members

In 2019, we lost our beloved Perfecto, and in 2024, our dear Joyce to pancreatic cancer. These losses have deeply impacted each of us in different ways, but they’ve also united us in a shared commitment to making a difference. 

We’re reaching out to ask for your support in providing hope to the thousands of families affected by this devastating disease.

Why are we supporting Lustgarten? As the nation’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research, they ensure that 100% of every donation goes directly to research. This is made possible because their administrative expenses are covered separately. Your contribution, combined with those from others, will fuel groundbreaking research and bring us closer to a cure.

With your help, we can reach our fundraising goal and direct more resources toward early detection and innovative treatments. Please consider sharing this message with others who might be willing to contribute and join us in this fight against pancreatic cancer. Together, we can honor the memory of Perfecto and Joyce by supporting a cause that brings hope to so many.
