When your friend registers for our portal, make sure they provide YOUR NAME under Additional Information in the box labeled “Were you referred to Lovegood by Another Lovegood Family or Student? If so, who referred you?”, and as soon as the new student registers for a class or camp or is cast in a show, we will credit your family’s account with $50 credit toward a future Lovegood camp or class!

AND the new family will get a $50 credit toward their second season!

So it's a win / win for everyone! Note that the referral must be to a household that is new to Lovegood.
