No, there is no minimum.  We simply encourage each team member to set their goals high, let your friends know about brain tumors and why you would like to help the National Brain Tumor Foundation.

No fee required at NBTF.  There are some situations where this may be different, however.  If you sign up for a Marathon, and they offer a training program, some have a minimum amount required or other associated fees.
