Phantom Sponsor
Support a student, get the t-shirt … all without running!
We know, not everyone wants to run or walk a 5K or 10K,
but this is a great way to help support our student mission trip!
Phantom Sponsor T-shirts will be available to pick up February 22 in front of the Media Center before and after services.
Please indicate on your registration whether you will pick up your tee or if you need the student to pick it up. RFTS does not provide shipping options.
Please note: The last day for Phantom Sponsors to order a tee will be February 8. Our final T-Shirt order will be placed February 9. All registrations received between February 9-23 will be donations and you will receive a donation contribution statement for your taxes from Burnt Hickory Baptist Church.
Registration for Phantom Sponsors will be open until February 23 at midnight.
