I am a new Survivor chair this year & want to make this year very special for our survivors and caregivers. I need help coming up with gift ideas for the goodie bags we will hand out. How are you getting businesses to donate a large amount of items?
I've seen really cute, simple ones made from Purple Ribbon fabric. Then they can be used again by the recipient and are an ongoing gift and reminder to them. Just Google for information.

Survivor goodie bags
Last year, our Event teams each donated something for the goodie bag...everything from baggied oatmeal raisin cookies to bookmarks made by a kid's Sunday school class to a book on being a caregiver. Teams really responded at the opportunity to participate, so much so that every TC wants to do it again this year. The bags turned out to be really special because they were from the folks lining the track as we walked that first lap.

survivor gifts
last year, each survivor was presented with a coupon book before the opening ceremony. they had to take each coupon to the appropriate campsite to redeem it for their gift. this allowed each team to personally speak with that survivor and show them our appreciation and love for them being at relay. one coupon said, "a light to guide your way" and the team gave out mini flashlights and another said "hugs and kisses for our precious survivor" and the team gave little bags of hersheys candy. our survivors loved their coupon books!
