 | Question: If there is bad weather, will YSFC be canceled or
rescheduled for a different date?
Answer: Youth Strike for Christ event will take place
regardless of weather conditions. If you can not make it on Friday
night, no problem, you can check in on Saturday. Unfortunately we are
not able to discount your cost or refund your money. YSFC signs
contracts with the Hotel, Convention Center, Food Caterer, bands, etc... and
they do not refund us if we cancel so we are not able to refund you.

| Question: Do I need to bring any money to YSFC?
Answer: Yes and No. We are providing everything you

need any money. BUT, there will be lots of cool stuff to purchase, you
may want a snack, and there is a Starbucks in the hotel. So, we
recommend you bring a few dollars. Did I mention there will be
lots of cool stuff to buy?
