<!--[if !supportLists]--><!--[endif]-->Postering Day or Tag Day – “Have your event meet at a common spot, give them breakfast, and split up your town… spread out and put up posters, ask for donations, etc. door to door… One year we found a corporate sponsor who gave us $1000 and became part of a team!” (from Ramesh in Baltimore). Another example - “We are going to do sort of a “Tag Day” like the high school bands do. Spread out in the town, different teams, different areas and go door to door asking for donations – then we will meet up at one location for pizza – we did it last year and it worked very well, kind of gave everyone a jump start to get fundraising. One technique that the boy scouts use for their canned food drive is to leave a bag and then they pick it up a week later hanging on the door. We could leave a pamphlet describing Relay then come back a week later to collect donations – we’re figuring out logistics. Usually we just sell raffle tickets as we go. Any ideas? We’re looking for some kind of a little pamphlet to leave behind to let people know what we are doing – can you think of anything short that describes Relay and might have a luminary order form on it – or we could direct them to the website.”
