Training
One of the big hopes for this year is that we can grow our team training program. What this means is that we will be working together with all the teams to discuss and execute things like colloborative fund raising, have great team meetings, and overall team planning for the day of the event. A major factor in this is making sure that team captains are attending team captain meetings. So if your a team captain and / or co captain or know one, please make sure you remind them to attend and pick up as much information as possible.
This website will also be a resource for people who want to learn how to make their teams better for relay 2012. Please check in regularly and feel free to post comments or send emails with questions about specific things you might be concerned with. See some links below to information about Relay for Life training.
Sponsorships
Written by Chris Gonzalez
I recently had a meeting with a local business owner who wanted to learn about becoming a sponsor. I got my hands on a sponsorship package and then got oonline to do some research. I thought that I was pretty well prepared but what a surpirse. Its important to ask for help in these types of situations, so i spoke eith our staff partner. I gor some pointers there and off I went.
One of the hardest part of trying to win over a sponser is conveying the message of what is Relay to someone. It's hard to put so any good things into a small paragraph or 5 minute speech. I found the following in some Relay for life documents on the web. It is available via our literature section.
