2012 Team Captains Kit Use this checklist as a reminder of your next steps and to help you keep track of your progress. Register as a team captain at www.savannahraceforthecure.org Choose a team name. Your team name should be unique. Try not to start your team name with The or Team. Set a goal for the number of people you will recruit. If your company team is open to non-employees, ask team members to recruit their families and friends to join the team. Ten or more people comprise a team. Make a personal self donation first. Display event materials – brochures and posters – around the office, campus, cafeterias, break rooms, gyms, and other high traffic areas. Put your name, phone number and/or email address on the posters so people can contact you to get involved. Post a progress chart with your fundraising and recruitment goals in a visible area, and update totals regularly. Host a kick-off meeting or event and invite a Coastal Komen Affiliate Board member or Race Committee member to make a presentation. Send fundraising tips out to all your team members; highlight the teams top fundraising member. Create fundraising incentives so that all your members meet or exceed their goals. Remind your team members about overall race fundraising incentives. Remind team members to log on to their fundraising pages to record all offline donations and send thank you notes.

7
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
