All Fresh Check Days must be registered with the Jordan Porco Foundation (JPF). We typically encourage 3 months lead time between signing up and holding your event to allow for punctual completion of planning requirements and communications.

Program Cost

A $1000 program fee is applied to registration, due 45 days prior to your registered Fresh Check Day event date.

Fresh Check Day is budget-flexible, with 50% of schools spending less than $1500 on other event components.

Does Your Registration Include?

Participating colleges receive a complete program toolkit with virtual coaching. This includes:

• High quality event planning support/consultation
• E-library of downloadable graphics, marketing tools, and planning documents, including full length planning and booth handbooks
• A physical Event Day Kit that includes essential planning documents and supplemental materials
• An electronic survey platform with analyzed post-event data

Funding Support Options

If a school is committed to Fresh Check Day but has truly exhausted all their funding options, we want to help! If your school falls in this category, please complete the Funding Support Request Form as soon as possible. Though submitting a request form does not guarantee funding will be made available, we will do our best to secure third-party funding to fully or partially subsidize the program fee.

Effective starting with events in 2026:

Funding supported fee waivers will be issued 4 times each year. Your school must register to be considered for a fee waiver. Invoicing will be withheld until after fee waiver allocation is determined, at which point your school can decide whether or not to proceed with your event.

Quarterly submission deadlines:

Submitted funding support requests will be reviewed quarterly, and notifications will be made within 10 business days from the posted deadlines:
