1 2014 RACE FOR THE CURE TEAM CAPTAIN KIT

2 Dear 2014 Team Captain: Thank you for your interest in forming a Team for the 2014 Susan G. Komen Arkansas Race for the Cure. Teams participating in the Race play a vital role and make a huge impact in the fight against breast cancer. Your leadership is essential to our success and we thank you for it! A Team is a group of 10 or more people who register for the Race through their team on komenarkansas.org. Any type of group is eligible to be a team: businesses, families, schools, clubs, scout troops, sports teams, churches, friends, etc. In fact, we have 10 team divisions! Your Team will join more than 40,000 participants on Saturday, October 4, 2014, in downtown Little Rock to celebrate and honor breast cancer survivors and remember friends and family who have lost their fight against this terrible disease. Race Day is full of hope, courage, enthusiasm and strength. Thank you for being such an important part of this special event! If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at teams@komenarkansas.org or call the Komen office Sincerely, Laurie Reynolds & Shawna Long 2014 TEAMS Committee 2

Together, with your friends, family and co-workers, you make an even greater impact than you can alone. A Team is a group of ten (10) or more individuals. Invite your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors or anyone else to join your team. The more team members, the more fighting for the cures! Why form a Team?

If your company team is open to non-employees, tell team members to recruit their families and friends to join the Team. Set a Fundraising goal for your Team. If you are a company team, ask if your company will contribute or match dollars raised by your team members. Ask your Team to set individual Fundraising goals. Display Race information material brochures and posters around the office, campus, cafeterias, break rooms, gyms and other high traffic areas.

Although we love online registration, we understand that some prefer the paper entry forms. That is OK. For those team members who want to use the forms and give you the money, please process the forms using the information included one Page 6 (see Offline (Mail-In) Team Member Registration). Team Fundraising As the leader of your Team, please motivate your team members to fundraise! Simply registering and showing up on Race Day will raise awareness, but it is the fundraising dollars that will help find the cure and provide much needed treatment and support to Arkansas women diagnosed with breast cancer. One of the best ways to inspire your Team to fundraise is to lead by example and start fundraising yourself. Once you have started your own personal fundraising effort, and you have some team members on board, get great fundraising ideas at your participant center.
