Chipping In

I currently publish widgets that are created with the CHIP IN tool.  I would like to see RELAY FOR LIFE create a CHIP IN widget so that webmasters may place it on their websites to make their visitors aware of this wonderful project.

I am creating a new giving page on KyJuice and will put more widgets in place as the building process improves.Let me know what you think!

Creating positive attitudes and raising money for cancer research!

Hello,

My sister was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2006 when she was only 29 years old.  She continues to remain positive and upbeat realizing that no matter what she goes through, there is always someone fighting a tougher battle.  We often talk about how hard it must be for a child to go through this, as well as their parents.

I have walked and taken part in some other charities over the past few years; however, I wanted to start something I could committ to everyday.  We started Flip It For Life!

Flip It For Life is a uniquely molded company.  We are committed to raising money for cancer research by donating all of our net proceeds from any Flip It For Life product purchased.  Our donations go to the American Cancer Society’s general cancer research.

E-Cards

Are you registered on line?

When you register your team on line you have a great opportunity to increase funds raised and share stories.  Personalizing your page helps encourage those you e-mail to donate.  How easy can it get?  E-mail is a great way to reach a large number of family and friends.  Relay For Life has provided us with all the letters and thank you's.  You can even track if your e-mail was read and if they looked at your site.

But have you sent an e-card?  At the top of the main page you will find Fundraising Ideas.  Listed in the drop down is Send an E-card.  You will see a variety of post cards to send to the same family and friends as follow up or even send to your team mates.  Remind them of events or even remind them to send out letters!  Again, can it get any easier?

Here is a testmony from a team that used the e-card:

From Kim, 2008 Team Captain

 Hey Bethany. I wanted to drop you a quick email and say "thank you" for the 
advice on sending out the postcard to my address book. I did it and I have 
already gotten 2 donation committments. Wow! Therefore this is proof that the 
emails do work. I actually wrote up my own little letter on Word, making it a 
little more personal, and attached it to the postcard. If there are other 
small teams like ours struggling to get donations then please forward this 
email to them so as to offer some encouragement. I am going to send a follow 
up email to those I sent the postcard to, probably next week. 
 
Go TEAMS!!!!!!!!

Sweetness!

     Hi , my name is Sadie Thompson. I live in Grand Blanc Michigan. I am on a relay team called Kids Kickin' Cancer to the Kurb! I have a very interesting back ground. I have lived in many, many places. The most interesting place I have ever lived would have to be Japan! It was cool. I lived there for three years and I went to an all Japanese school with my sister and one other American boy. My parents are devorced and both of them are re-married. But I am happy just the way I am. I like to play soccer, cheerleading, and I am on a swim team over the summers. I am with my dad over the summers because he lives in Virginia. He is stationed there because he is a marine and works for the president. He is the head of the Presidential Helicopter Squadrian! It is realy cool to have a dad like that. SO now that you know a little bit about me, look at the reat of the sight and get into the American Cancer socity's Relay for life relay on the 13th and14th of June!
