The success of the Relay depends upon people forming and registering teams. Teams typically have 8-15 members, one of whom
will be the designated team captain, acting as the contact person for their team.

Team captains should be able to attend a few Relay meetings in the weeks leading up to the event, or have someone else from
their team attend. The purpose of these meetings will be for teams to register, to turn in any fundraising monies, receive Relay
updates and event T-shirts. Team captains are responsible for completing the registration forms for their team, collecting the $10
registration fee from each team member, and registering the team.

Team captain meetings begin in February, and the full schedule and agendas will be posted  shortly.  It is important that someone
from your team attend the meeting to collect the registration materials and Team Captain information pack.

these meetings!

_Individual Fundraising

Ask people to sponsor you.  Almost anyone you ask will have been
touched by cancer in some way, and many people will be willing to
donate to the fight against the disease.  Tell them about the Relay,
how you are donating your time and effort to help. The list of people
you can ask is almost endless....

Friends
Family
Neighbors
Members of your sports team
Members of your church
Your coworkers
Your doctor/dentist
Your dry cleaner
Your plumber
Your landlord
Your insurance agent
Your babysitter
Your hairdresser
Your child's teacher
_TeamFundraising

Team fundraisers can be a very effective way of gathering donations.
Be as creative as you want, and remember to promote the Relay For
Life and American Cancer Society's mission during your efforts.  
Some ideas that could be used are...

- Bake sale
- Car wash
- Potluck party
- Auction (silent or live)
- Casual for cancer (allow your company to dress casual for a  $5
donation)
- Sports tournaments
- Matching gifts (if you have a corporate team, will your employers
match  
contributions?). Click here for a
list of companies that match
employee donation

Fundraising

Each participant in the Relay For Life is encouraged to raise at least $100 in donations.  It's easier than you think, and you
may well find yourself raising even more!  Fundraising can be done on an individual basis, as a team, or both.
