Does anyone know of a new Cancer Awareness Calendar? The one on the ACS Website is from 2008.

Mission Matters Newsletters/Updated Information

purplepassion — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 11:27:59 -0500

Looking for new ideas on promoting our Mission & Mission Matters to relay events.

I have already checked out the Mission Library, but I'm looking for great ideas on getting the information out in a fresh new way.

I would like to see a new area just for Mission Activities/Ideas. It would be great if staff & volunteers could provide documents with guidlines and/or instructions for activities they use.

One that I have used in the past is the Road to Recovery Race. Each team has one person entered. They decorate a cardboard box with their team theme or a road to recovery theme. One hole is cut out for the head and two holes are cut out on either side for the arms. Each person will then carry an egg in a spoon around the track. The egg represents the cancer patient. First one that completes a lap around the track without dropping the egg wins team points and special prize.

Relay Around The World

Hi guys and girls, it's been a while since I posted in the forum. When I was last here I was looking for an American relay to join with us in Bury, UK so that we can relay together in mutual encouragement and support.

Well i had a few replies and we "twinned" with Relay For Life San Ramon, Califonia. This partnership was a huge success as we set out to wallk the distance between our two venues (5212 miles) in our alotted mutual 24 hours, and to broadcast our events via the internet.

What we actually achieved was to walk over 6000 miles and to broadcast for 22.5 hours of the 24, and have gained a great deal from the mutual support and encouragement.

We are now looking for further relays to join us in and effort to "Relay Around The World", this is a hugely ambitious project as we intend to walk the distance around the earth (24900 miles).

Mission and Advocacy

Hey Michelle,

These are the additions that I mentioned that would be loaded to RFL.org as soon as I had them.

The Timeline PP is printed as one slide per page at the dimensions of 11" x 8.5" to be placed on the walls around the room. Laminated as well

The Icebreaker document is some of the featured Milestones for the last 25 years. Each of these pages should be printed 12" x 18" Portrait view and laminated.

The Mission Best Practices is for a reference document on the tables. It will need to be printed as 8.5" x 11". They have requested 15 copies of the document.

HELP! Need Mission Information for TOMORROW!

TiaMouse — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 01:02:47 -0400

I just found out that I need to speak for 5 minutes tomorrow on the Mission.

It is for our Event Kickoff Rally and I'm not sure I even understand what is meant by Mission, let alone what to say about it to potential relayers/volunteers for FIVE WHOLE MINUTES!!

Don't get me wrong, I present in public as a profession, so I am not nervous, but rather concerned about giving not only an accurate but a meaningful, moving and/or inspiring message.

Please help. I'm truly desperate. (Also posted this in Fight Back! forum. I need all the help I can get!)

Thanks for any information you have...

I am the MD chair at UNC-CH. Our Relay this year is superhero themed. My committee is having trouble coming up with events that we could do at Relay that are Mission Delivery related. I would love to hear your suggestions! Thank you for any help you can give us!

Games and Pit Stops

MeLissa Olson — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 05:49:14 -0500

Hey everyone -

I am trying to put together games and pit stops related to Mission Delivery and Advocacy for our Relay on May 31. Any ideas or suggestions? I want to give my captains the game idea, the reason why this is important to RFL, Mission Delivery and Advocacy and tie that in with brochures and such. We have the games at each team camp and then people go from site to site and have their passport stamped.

Thanks for any help.

New Award Idea

Ted Torres — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 11:40:57 -0500

We use Spirit Points or Bucks at our Relay and award a Spirit Award, a perpetual plaque, to the winning team. Traditionally we give out spirit points at team captain's meetings and for other various activities before the Relay. In an attempt to keep the Spirit Award as competitive as possible, I want to award spirit points only during the Relay. I still want to encourage individuals and teams to get involved before the event. To do this I would like to create a new award. It would be exactly like the Spirit Award Program, but for activities outside the Relay for Life promoting the event. I do not know what to name this new award. Please help me out and suggest possible names for such an award. Thanks.

UPDATE: I have decided to call the award the "Relay 365 Award." Teams will be awarded points for representing the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life within the community throughout the year. For example, teams helping staff an informational booth for the Relay For Life at a community fair or farmer's market.
