Post-Event Fundraising -- Share your ideas!

 

Help!

Our event is in 11 days and as of right now, we will definitely need to continue raising money after the event in order to make our goal. We can continue raising $$ and turning it in until the end of August, and so wanted to find out what great ideas are out there for fundraising after the Relay.

One thing that we will do is let teams know that if each team could just raise "$X" then we will reach our goal. An online fundraising email blitz is another way we'll continue to raise money.

Another option is matching gifts as a way to double -- or even triple -- some donations. There is a matching gifts page on cancer.org that is really useful: http://www.matchinggifts.com/acs/

I know there are so many amazing and creative ideas out there. Please share what you are doing to make your goal (or even surpass it!) after your Relay.

My Amazing Litle Relayers are Saving Lives

I am so proud of my little Relayers! Four out of our five kids are Relaying this year (two as team captains!) -- the baby just turned two; we'll put her on the team next year! : )

This past weekend, the kids created t-shirts and painted rocks with suns, moon, and "RFL" that they are giving in exchange for donations. Their fundraising campaign is "Relay Rocks!" They put all of the rocks in a the red wagon and went door to door. The only crisis was when one of the rocks got broken in half. No worries, though, they just decided to make it a "two for one" deal. Cute.

All of our kids love Relay For Life and always look forward to being a part of it. I wish I could bottle their enthusiasm and excitement for helping fight back against cancer. In fact, our oldest daughter loves it so much that when she grows up she wants to "work for Relay For Life -- or Krispy Kreme." Hey, when you're in 4th grade, it's a definite toss up.

The kids have been Relaying all of their lives. The results? Well, since my oldest son's first Relay in 1997, survival rates have gone from just over 50% to nearly 70%. We've seen: the development of a pill that can cure leukemia; the development of the first cancer vaccine; increased clean air legislation; and a reduction in the actual number of cancer deaths (just to name a few things).

My Relay page

Welcome to my Relay page. I am participating in Relay for Life in memory of my wife Rebecca, in memory of James Lorber, Midge Furey, Julie Wright and in honor of many friends who have conquered or are still fighting the disease.

This is my first year doing Relay and I signed up as team captain.!

I am having my first fund raiser this week end (a pancake breakfast at home). I will tell you more about it next week.
