2012 Team Captains Kit Your registration gets you to the start line; fundraising gets us to the finish! Choose one of these fun raising activities or create your own to help your team make an impact in the fight against breast cancer! - Casual days – Ask your team members to collect a $5 fee from employees who would like to dress down on Fridays. - Design your team T-shirt – Accept nominations for your teams t-shirt. Have people vote using dollar bills. - Water Cooler Days – Bring in homemade sweets and sell them during break time. - Office Cubicle Sale – Sell off any unused or rarely used office supplies to the highest bidder (with permission!) or even a larger office space if available. - Parking Raffles – Auction off reserved parking spots – more if covered! - Golf Tournaments – Mini or not – organize a tournament to raise donations. - Penny Wars – Set up change jars in each department and try to collect the most money in your jar. - Poster the Walls – Post posters encouraging your team members to donate. Include a fundraising thermometer to track your teams progress. - Just Ask – Ask EVERYONE for a donation – your hairdresser, doctor, neighbor, co-worker, sister, grocery clerk, cousin… the key is just to ask! - Car Wash – Wash cars for a donation. - Pink Potluck – Hold a potluck full of pink food and charge $10 per plate. REMEMBER THE POWER OF TEN – We are encouraging all of our participants to ask 10 people to donate $10. If every race participant raised just $100, more than $500,000 would be raised to fight breast cancer!!!!! TEAM FUNDRAISING IDEAS
