8 Recruit a Team! Set it in motion! A Step By Step Guide for Team Captains TEAM CAPTAIN JOB RESPONSIBILITIES: Recruit team members Encourage Each Participant to raise $100 Attend All Team Captain Meetings and invite a team member to join you if you can t make it, it is IMPERATIVE that you send someone in your place! Delegate, delegate, delegate!!! Don t burn yourself out! Ensure that everyone on your team is fundraising and aiding the team s efforts Be the biggest cheerleader for the group Send out group communications ( , phone calls, letters, etc.) keeping everyone in the loop about fundraising and Relay plans Monthly team meetings are HIGHLY recommended and beneficial Immediately following Kick Off: Set Goals for yourself and your team (utilize the Team Fundraising Goal Worksheet located in your folder) Team members Survivors Luminaria Team GOAL Find team members and select one Co-Captain to help you. Team members can be found: Your friends and family Co-workers Neighbors Place of Worship Gym If you recruit 5 people, ask each of these people to bring one friend, and you ll have a team of 10! Remember that 97% of families will be touched by cancer...nearly everyone has a reason to Relay! Organize an initial team meeting so that you can: Discuss team goals, layout expectations Distribute Relay For Life envelopes/forms/luminarias to all participants on your team. Sign the team up online and register your team members. **Plan your pre-event fundraising effort(s) Ask any businesses that you or your teammates know if they will sponsor the Relay (See sponsorship page in this packet and the brochure located in Team Captain Folder) 8

9 SCANNABLE FORM We encourage each of your team members to register online, but if they are unable to join on the website you can use this form. You can turn the completed forms in at any event meeting. In order for participants to receive incentive prizes they must be registered online at calhouncountyeastmi. SAMPLE There are 10 forms in your packet, but if you need more they can be printed off the website or they will be available at every Event Meeting. 9

10 Recognizing Team Members Incentive Prizes Team participants who raise $100 will receive a Relay For Life event t-shirt. Anyone who raises $250 or above is eligible to receive an incentive prize (must be registered online). See the incentive prize sheet enclosed in the Team Member Guides for more details. ONE incentive prize can be picked from the appropriate fundraising level. (In other words, Relayers cannot choose several prizes from lesser fundraising levels). Certificates will automatically be ed to those that have raised $ or more. IMPORTANT: If an individual is trying to obtain an incentive prize they must be registered online. When turning in cash & checks, please be sure to put their name on an envelope with the money and indicate how much should go towards the individual on your team. You can also utilize the Team Accounting Sheet that is located in your Team captain Kit. Ways to Recognize Your Team Members Thank you card/certificate after Relay Copies of team photos Give a Badge/Crown to wear to wrap up party Send Birthday/Holiday/Anniversary Cards Manicure/Pedicure Movie gift certificates Letter to their boss to give thanks Life Savers with a note about how they too, are a life saver Candy Grams Mints With a note that says What you did MINT a lot Cards with signatures from Survivors Wrap party celebration make appetizers and beverages. Trade pictures. Make a thank you speech. 10

11 Personalized Track Signs Personalized track signs are another great way to fundraise pre-relay. These signs are about 2 X 3 feet and made of corrugated plastic. The cost to have a personalized track sign is $100. You can reuse the sign each year if you wish, but you will need to renew the $100 donation each year. Teams are asked to use the signs as a fundraiser by offering them to donors as a means to honor someone who has battled cancer. Or, alternatively, if a sponsorship ask is denied at the $250 level, ask businesses if they would contribute $100 to have a sign posted at the Relay. (See below for examples of personalized signs) Teams are responsible for collecting the money earned from track sign sales and for turning in the completed order forms. Please turn in one form per sign that you are ordering. (Do not put multiple orders on one form). Be sure to indicate EXACTLY what you would like the sign to say. Keep in mind that the top half of the sign will have the Relay logo printed on it. Order forms will be available at every Team Captain meeting. Because it takes approximately 2-3 weeks to have all the signs printed and shipped, Track Sign order forms are due NO LATER than June 25. Teams will receive their signs at Bank Day. Personalized Track Sign Examples: IN HONOR OF JOHN JACENTY, JR. WE MISS YOU, PAPPA! LOVE, TEAM BOZO HI-LAND GARDEN MART A Personal Track Sign A Business Track Sign 11

12 Sponsorship Pursuing a corporate sponsorship is a great way to boost your team total! Plus, businesses benefit from the recognition they get having their name displayed to hundreds of Relay participants in their community. In general, sponsorship asks are more successful if they come from someone the businesses owner recognizes as a regular patron of their establishment. Think of all the places you go on a regular basis...these businesses would make great sponsors! Here are a few ideas: Local coffee shops Restaurants Grocery Store Gym Banks/Credit Unions Pharmacy Family & Friends businesses Your place of employment The Sponsorship packet outlines not only the levels of sponsorship recognition, but also information about Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society. Inside the packet is a commitment form for the sponsor to fill out. These are due June 11. The sky is the limit! Check out the schedule of important dates for the sponsorship deadline. You have a form in your packet, but they are also available online or at every Team Meeting. 12

13 Banking Procedures Before Relay: Give each team member a collection envelope. Have them label the envelope with their name and the Team Name. This is imperative for your team to receive credit for its donations. Checks must be cashed within 90 days of their date, so please turn in monies regularly. A mini accounting services will be set up in the back of all Team Meetings, except at Relay101. Feel free to turn in team member s money as it comes in throughout the season. Be sure to follow the tips for handing in money as outlined below. At Bank Day: (see Calendar of Event) Please note that turning in money at Bank Day is preferred to turning in money at the event. Prior to Bank Day, Team Captains should collect all remaining envelopes from all their team members. Be sure each envelope is labeled with team name, team member name, and an indication of the total amount enclosed. After turning in your funds, you will receive your T-shirts and track signs. Bank Day is the last chance to ask any questions or gather last minute supplies, such as luminaria bags. Teams are asked to please send only ONE team representative to Bank Day.

After Relay: Just because the event is over, doesn t mean fundraising has to stop!

As we finalize the campsite maps, you will receive a copy highlighting your location for you to duplicate and hand out to your team members. This will help them find your site, the bathrooms, etc. During the event you will be responsible for your own site; please be sure to keep all trash picked up and in the garbage cans provided. Following the Closing Ceremony on Saturday, you will be responsible for clearing and cleaning up your site. Cars will not be allowed on the track until after the closing ceremony, as there will still be people walking.

17 WHAT HAPPENS AT RELAY... Opening Ceremony: The fun starts from the very beginning! During the Opening Ceremony, chairpersons, speakers, and community leaders set the pace for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life. Cancer Survivor s Victory Lap: The first official lap of Relay is the survivors victory lap. During the Victory Lap, Relayers line the track perimeter and cheer and applaud as the Survivors walk a lap together. The louder the better! Fight Back Ceremony: The Fight Back Ceremony is a short ceremony that asks every Relayer to make a commitment to continue the fight against cancer year round. Participants make pledges to live healthier lifestyles, help family members get cancer screenings, etc.. Luminaria Ceremony: Luminaria Ceremony is often said to be the most emotional part of Relay. Prior to Relay, teams are encouraged to sell luminaria bags. You can obtain as many bags as you wish to sell by asking your staff partner, Katie Nelson. These bags are then decorated in honor of a survivor, caregiver, or someone who has lost their battle with cancer. At dusk we place all of these bags around the track and candles are lit inside. Sand and candles are available at the Information Tent. The bags glow helps guide us as we continue Relaying throughout the night. A ceremony of remembrance takes place at dusk. This ceremony will include a lap of silence to reflect on the people whose names are inscribed on the glowing tributes. Luminaria is a powerful testimonial as to why we Relay For Life. Closing Ceremony: The Closing Ceremony celebrates the accomplishments, success, and efforts of the committee, team captains, participants, donors and volunteers. Awards are presented to teams and the grand total of dollars raised will be announced. Taking the final lap together is a proud moment for a community taking up the fight! 17

18 Luminaria Bags & Ceremony The Luminaria Ceremony is a huge part of Relay! It is, in fact, the biggest reason many people take part in the event. To light a candle in honor of someone you love, to say a few words, and to see an entire park lit up with the candlelight of a thousand memories...that is a sight to behold! BUT, in order to get those 1000 flickering flames, we must sell the luminaria bags and decorate them. What to do with luminaria bags Luminaria bags will be available in your Team Captain Kits and at all Team Meetings. Take as many as you need. The bags are intended to be used as a fundraiser. The official price is $10. However, we do not keep formal accounting of the number of bags you take versus the amount of money you hand in.so use your discretion. Tailor your price to the audience you are asking to donate. A group of elementary school kids?...the bag costs $1. A group of well-to-do surgeons?...the bag costs $25! Once people have purchased a luminaria bag, instruct them to decorate it in honor of a survivor or caregiver. Decorations can be as simple as a name written in pencil to frills such as lace, glitter, and cut outs. As an alternative, some teams ask for a donation and volunteer to decorate bags with the names of people the donor specifies. This saves busy donors time and gives the Relayer a reason to invite their donors to Relay! (To see their bags, of course!). Team Members are responsible for collecting any bags they ve passed out prior to Relay. Bring all your bags to Relay Day. While at Relay, it is important to store your bags in a place where they will remain safe and dry should a mid-day sprinkle occur. In early evening, teams will be instructed to place the bags around the track and begin filling them with the sand and candles. Sand and candles can be picked up at the Information Tent throughout Friday afternoon and evening. While we realize you would like your bags near your campsite, please remember that we want to encircle the entire walking path with bags...so please space your bags as appropriate. The bags will remain lit throughout the night. In the morning, if you wish to keep your bags, please remove them from the walking path at daylight. Place the used sand and candle in the designated area. Any remaining luminaries will be subject to a group clean up (all teams are asked to help!) shortly after Closing Ceremony. 18

31 FAQs Why do I need to attend Team Meetings? At our meetings, teams share ideas about their team, and fundraising efforts to date and what they will do for on-site fundraising. Also the committee will share information about things happening at the Relay (the Survivor Reception, special theme laps, campsite locations and what activities and live entertainment will take place to name just a few things). Teams will also learn more about the American Cancer Society and the programs, services and research donor dollars help provide. This is also the best time to pick up extra supplies provided by ACS to help your team succeed. My team is pretty small should I just give up until next year? Absolutely not! All donations are appreciated and they all help in the fight against cancer! It s true that not all teams have 10 or more people and that s okay! Usually after teams come to Relay for the first time they get the idea and come up with more ideas for the next year! My aunt s a cancer survivor but not able to be part of my team should she still come? YES! A big part of Relay For Life is our celebration of cancer survivorship! We invite all Survivors to take part in the Cancer Survivor s Victory Lap around the track! Caregivers are welcome to join them in this prestigious walk too! How can I get an invitation sent to a cancer survivor? The committee will not be mailing out invitations to survivors. Invitations will also be available at Team Meetings for you to hand to any cancer survivor you d like to invite. Be sure to have your Survivors RSVP! (see Survivor Activities information on page 17) What if a cancer survivor did not get an invitation? Can they still come to the Relay and get a t-shirt? YES! They can register at the event and still get their shirt/medallion/pin. (while supplies last). What are the white bags (luminarias) for again? Luminarias are a way to continue the fight against cancer. ACS will provide them free of charge to teams who would like to use them as a fundraiser. Luminarias are traditionally sold for a donation of $10 each, but the teams are encouraged to use their discretion on price. The bags are decorated to honor someone who has battled cancer. What do I do with the luminaria bags I have sold? Hang on to them and bring to the event. Sand and candles are available at the Information Tent. Teams set the bags out 1ft apart to help line the track. What do I do during the Luminaria Ceremony? Gather with your team members at the ceremony area. We will have a short ceremony. We ask participants to remain attentive during this important ceremony. At the close of the ceremony we will have a silent lap. We ask participants to be courteous and respectful of this. A little while after the silent lap we will return to our celebratory spirit! How do I know where my team will camp at Relay? Campsites are given out at the Team Picnic on July 9 (see calendar of events). Depending on your location campers are allowed. See logistic information on page

32 I don't think we will have a team to walk all night, can we still participate? Absolutely! Relay is free and open to the public. You are welcome to come and check out Relay For Life and frankly - we hope you ll participate in the teams fundraising efforts to help support the event. Often when people do this they get caught up in the excitement and return the next year with a team! You are also more than welcome to join the Calhoun County East Community Team. Is there first aid on site? We will have a simple first aid kit at the Information Tent. The local fire and police depts. are well aware of the event and will be just a call away for us. When do I turn in the money we raise? You can turn money in at the beginning of any of the Team Meetings, Bank Day, and at the event in the purple mailbox (see Banking Procedures on page 12). Any money raised after the event can be turned in at our Wrap Up Celebration or sent into the American Cancer Society at: American Cancer Society, Calhoun County East 1400 W. Milham Portage, MI (be sure your team name is on anything that you turn in or mail) I know that those who raise at least $100 will get a free Relay For Life t-shirt. I have team member who only raised $50 by Bank Night. Can she still get a t-shirt? Yes! You may turn in the other $50 she raised at Relay Will I learn about cancer at the Relay For Life? YES! As part of our mission we want to educate everyone about cancer prevention. All around the track (and hopefully at your campsite) you will see cancer fact signs and there will be interactive activities for everyone to enjoy! My brother and sister-in-law are coming in from out of town but aren t on my team can they still come? Yes. Relay is free to attend and open to the public. Do we have to decorate our campsite? No. Although we love to see lots of participation and there is an award for best decorated tent site, our main goal is to fundraise AND Celebrate, Remember, and Fight Back together as a community. What is an Endurance Walker? Endurance Walker fill our a registration form to commit to walking a certain amount of hours (8, 12, 16, 18, 24). They will be recognized at the beginning of the event and at the end. Please contact your Team D Mentor if you have an Endurance Walker on your team. 32
