3 WE CAN T FINISH THE FIGHT WITHOUT YOU! Team Captain To Do List Brainstorm a great team name: Sign up your team online. Lead by example, and make a personal donation to your team s fundraising efforts. Set a challenging individual fundraising goal: $ Recruit team members, and make sure they all sign up as part of your team. Challenge them to set their own fundraising goal and congratulate them when they reach it! Work with your team to set a challenging team fundraising goal: $ Communicate often. Remind teammates of deadlines. Be sure to send updates on where your team is, and encourage team members to take part in fundraising challenges. Invite cancer survivors and caregivers to participate. Download the mobile fundraising app, and start raising awareness and funds whenever and wherever. Plan fundraising events with your team. Help promote our event by dropping off posters at your favorite businesses in the area, sharing our Facebook posts, and encouraging others to join your team, form their own team, or donate. Get active and train for race day! Check out our new training program. Join us October 29th & help save more lives from cancer! THANK YOU! With your motivation and encouragement, we know you and your team will reach your fundraising goals and help the American Cancer Society finish the fight against cancer. Coordinating a team and participating in the Road America Walk/Run is going to be an amazing experience. We ll be there to support you every step of the way. Plus, this kit will give you information and tools to help you: Recruit, Motivate, Fundraise, and Hit the Road! The number one reason people don t get involved or donate is they were never asked, so be sure to let others know what you are doing and how they can help. The most successful teams combine different types of fundraising to meet their goals with both individual fundraising efforts (through s, conversations, and matching gifts), as well as with team fundraising activities and events. Find what works for you, and have fun! Thank you all for your dedication to Fighting Cancer, One Mile at a Time.
