Well nothing ventured...here goes. Was just thinking how awesome the National Team program is and how it would be useful to share what Relays are doing to leverage those commitments.
I know those companies are committed to so many teams, etc but just for example, we are working with our Dress Barn to get a donation made - a percent of sales, for the month of January - for all sales made to people wearing any RFL T-shirt.
This is building on our monthly Wear Your Relay T-Shirt Days - where the first Saturday of every month Relayers are supposed to show off their T-shirts.
I just know it helps to be able to say that another location is doing such and such when talking to these organizations local people. So I would hope to get any news like this posted here.
Hi Kip - With the new launch of this site we are incorporating more information for volunteer recruiters to reach out to the 33 companies in 2007 that are with the National Corporate Team Program. There are fact sheets for the volunteers internally to know about the company before recruiting this warm lead and leverage the relationship with the knowledge we have gained by working with the volunteer leaders in each company.
Thank you for your support and nurturing of these teams in the field. Check out my blog for more information and the Relay Library for documents, fact sheets and promo flyers to assist in nurturing these valuable nationwide relationships.
