Help—Frequently asked questions

What should I do if my company's team intends to underwrite my online registration fee and/or $100 fundraising requirement? 
For climbers who are being financially sponsored by their firms, please make arrangements with your employer to be reimbursed for your $50 registration fee or have your employer contact Her Justice (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to pay Her Justice directly. Your employer can also cover the $100 requirement by check or credit card. Payment details must be emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. no later than Friday, October 17.

If my team has raised a lot of money, but I have not reached the $100 fundraising minimum, can I still climb?   
No, you cannot climb unless you personally raise, pledge or contribute $100 to the Story by Story® event. Please read the full details about this requirement.

We encourage all participants to raise or contribute $100 via the Story by Story event website no later than the event day, October 23. Climbers can also pledge to raise or contribute $100 after the event, by November 6 (two weeks after the stair climb).

Registrants can bring payment with them to the event; please bring payment to the Help Desk before or after checking in at the general Check-in Area. Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted.

As part of the registration process for all climbers, your credit card information will be securely captured and saved. Your credit card will be charged $100 (or any remaining balance), if you have not raised or personally contributed these funds by two weeks after the event (November 6). You will be notified before November 6 about any remaining balance which is owed, before your credit card is charged.

Can the Story by Story staff register members for a team? 
Our staff cannot register any team members for the event. All team members must register directly through the event website and acknowledge a medical waiver as part of the process.

If employees of a current sponsor wish to form a team, do the registration fee and fundraising minimum still apply to these registrants? 
Yes, all registrants—regardless if their employer is a sponsor—are responsible for the registration fee ($50) and the $100 fundraising minimum.

If I did not create a "Personal Web Page Link" (a short URL name) for my team fundraising page, can I change it later?

Can my team climb together? 
Your team should be able to climb together if every team member registered for the same route and if all team members arrive on time. If a team member has registered to do a shorter/longer route, he or she may be queued to start earlier or later than the rest of the group. If a team member arrives after 7:00 pm, we cannot guarantee that he or she can participate.

If your team wishes to take photos together, but members are finishing at different times, you should plan to meet at the Finish Line party once you complete your climb.
