You do not have to fundraise to participate. Of course it is encouraged in so far that they will track what you've raised through their website and provide e-tools for thanking people who make e-donations through you. But other than providing tools for doing it, there is no other push to fundraise.
I don't like asking people for money, so I won't hold out my hand for donations. However, when I tell people I'm doing it, they sometimes want the information so that they can contribuute. It's like this weird magic thing where suddenly they want to support it because it's a good cause and they happen to know someone in it. So that's my approach - I let people know I'm doing it and I leave it up to them to ask about donating if they are inspired.
