1 TEAM CAPTAIN GUIDE May 1, 2016 Essex County South Mountain Recreation Complex

2 WELCOME Why We Race One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Every minute, somewhere in the world, someone dies from breast cancer. Because, breast cancer knows no boundaries- be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location. At the current rate, 13 million breast cancer deaths around the world will occur in the next 25 years. When you participate and fundraise for Race for the Cure, you fight these statistics with us. Komen has played a critical role in almost every major advancement in the fight against breast cancer and is the largest nonprofit funder of breast cancer research and with your help, we can reach our vision of a world without breast cancer. Team Captain Role A team captain s role is to recruit, inspire and motivate people to register and fundraise for Komen North Jersey Race for the Cure. Since teams make up the vast majority of Race participants, your role as Team Captain will make a huge difference in the fight against breast cancer. Everything you will need to recruit, fundraise and communicate with team members can be found at the online Participant Center. You can send your team members reminders to raise funds, use our tips on fundraising (located at the FAQs and FORMS button on our website) and share information on team packet pick-up and meeting arrangements at Race. Komen North Jersey also offers fun incentives (Pink Perks) to motivate our participants to raise money for the cure!

5 RECRUITING IDEAS Looking for ideas on who to recruit for your team? Teams can have a few as two people or more than 100! It s up to you! Company, families, schools and communities can form teams to Race for the Cure. Below are some ideas of key people to recruit for your team. Some of the most successful teams recruit Executive Champions, Co-Captains and Ambassador for their team. By recruiting team members for these roles, you are setting yourself up for a very successful Race for the Cure! Executive Champion Executive Champions are CEO or executive level members who can motivate other employees and departments to join the company Race team. Executive Champions can help get things done and put company support behind your efforts. Your Executive Champion can send company wide s with your Race team registration information, encourage others to participate, maybe even challenge their peers to a fundraising competition! Samples s are provided in the Fundraising Tools & Ideas section. Co-Captains Teams can have more than one captain. Recruit a few other captains to help with recruiting and fundraising efforts. If you have a company or school team, co-captains can spearhead recruitment and fundraising within their own departments, grades or classes. Ambassadors An ambassador is someone who has been personally touched by breast cancer. They can be a survivor or a co-survivor who is willing to share their story. They are passionate about Komen s promise to end breast cancer forever and can rally their friends, family and co-workers to register and fundraise for Race for the Cure. Ambassadors can share their story through , social media or at team events. They can thank team members for registering and fundraising. They can lead your team on Race Day. They can motivate others to help us get closer to the cures.

6 FUNDRAISING TOOLS & IDEAS Online Fundraising Last year, participants who raised money online raised 90% more than those who didn t. Online fundraising is fast, easy and secure. Here are some ideas to maximize your online fundraising. Set a goal! Setting goals for the team and each participant motivates everyone and lets others know what you want to raise for Race for the Cure. Goals can be personally significant such as $5,000 in honor of a five year survivor. A goal poster is provided in the Team Captain Handbook. Personalize your online fundraising pages to include photos and personal messages. Participants who personalize their fundraising pages typically receive more support. Send out s. Lots of s! Did you know that on average, donors need up to six reminders before they make a donation. So keep asking! Use the Participant Center to easily send s to the contacts in your address book. Sample s are available at the Participant Center and in the Fundraising Tools & Ideas section. Finally, don t forget to make a self-donation. This will kick start your fundraising and show your donors that you are also investing in the cause you are asking them to donate to. Remember to ask donors if they have a matching gifts program at work. Matching gifts can double or even triple their donation! Social Media You are connected to hundreds of friends (and potential donors) through social media. Post your team or personal link on Facebook, Twitter and other social media outlets to let friends know you are participating in Race for the Cure and need their support. Here are a few suggestions for how you can raise money on social media: Post a personal story about why you are running or walking in Race for the Cure. Invite friends to join your at Race for the Cure. Ask friends to repost your donation request to their networks. Tag friends who have donated in thank you messages. Post your fundraising process and what you need to raise to reach your goal. The more posts you make, the more likely you are to receive donations. Don t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram at KomenNorthJersey and on Twitter Other Fundraising Ideas Looking for fundraisers you can do at your office or school? Here are a few ideas: Plan a Jeans Day! Co-workers make a donations to wear jeans to work to raise awareness for breast cancer. In lieu of presents for a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion, ask friends and family to make a donation to your Race for the Cure team. Host a bake sale at your school or office. Ask friends to bake or purchase items to sell. Provide incentives! For company teams reward top fundraisers with a premium parking spot or lunch with the president. For friends, offer a home cooked meal or baked good to your top fundraisers. Friendly competition provides great motivation.
