Hi guys! I signed up at NC and finally sat down to export my contact list over to The American Cancer SOciety website. Well, I had trouble b/c I sent over 689 contacts to the site and my guess is that it was way too many to send at one time. @ Noon today, I sent it out by breaking it up into groups and guess what, I immediately recieved a $100 donation and then just got another $25! I'm so excited! :D

By the way, I sent out the Join my team by walking email instead of soliciting my customers by donating. :) We'll see what happens!

So, are you walking and if so, have you sent your email out yet?:)

Oh, I got my cute hat today so don't forget when you sign up to add your cons. #.
 
I wanted to lead a team, but our closest walk in TX is in Houston which is a 3 hour or more drive from San Antonio. It was going to be hard enough to recruit other consultants to walk with me, but if we are driving that far we would need a hotel at least one night and I know many of them won't do it. I'm a little po'd about that!
 
BTW, Congratulations on the immediate response and donations. Many many people do want to help with this campaign.

Seriously, I can't stop watching this! We now have 14 people and up to $875!!

For PC as a whole, we're in 5th place

In our county, as a company we're in 5th place
and as a team, we showed up in the top 10 as place #7!!!

So, who's doing this as well??? :D

Oh, by the way, we're in Brevard Florida and our name is Cookin up a Cure for Cancer!
 
I got my hat today!!!!!I showed my mom and she said, "If I walk with you, can I get that hat?"

BTW~how is Carolyn???? Haven't "seen" her on here in a few days....does she have power??

I'm here and I am ticked about the MSABC sign up -- what am I doing wrong?> It takes me aroundin circles and I cant get signed up! ARGH!!!

Call me Carolyn! I'll help you. What what are you trying to do?

Congrats Colleen on your hat. I love mine and wore it yesterday. Too cute!
 
Well, I started a team and set a goal. Emailed to my list inviting them to join the team or donate and NO ONE has joined or contributed. I won't be able to walk after all because of my knee issues but was told at NC that we didn't have to physically walk. With the lack of interest I am getting I feel guilty about getting my hat today.

I should have known. I do a fundraiser every May and I get very pitiful results every time. My family doesn't take part at all. (my mother died of cancer, you'd think at least the family would do something - and I do pledge my entire commission even though that makes all promotion of the show out of pocket)

I am doing a fair on Saturday and will have forms with me and wear the hat and my pink HWC shirt and talk it up. I will also offer to contribute $10 in the name of anyone who spends $100 in the next month. I hope that brings in some donations...
 
I am having a problem getting my contacts entered on their site to email folks! HELP!

The not walking is not the problem - it's that I'm not getting the donations. :cry:

I know. I guess I just didn't finish writing my sentence. :) Not getting donations is okay. It's tough out there right now. we have 18 people on our team right now and only 9 have donations! Only half of our team. So, it's not just you thats having a hard time getting them!! Try going the recruit walkers to your team. That's the route that I took and man, it's paid off for the ACS. I only have $125 in donations so far for myself.
 
I just want to join a team so I can start raising $!
Kristi, PM me your # and I'll call you tomorrow ...
THANKS!

Our walk is tomorrow and we're now at $3525! My dh can't wait for this walk to be over b/c it's consuming a lot of my time. :rolleyes: It'll be nice to take a breather!
 
Wow, Kristi, great job!!!! That's so cool.

My team is small and probably not getting many donations. We're at $1435 and I hope a few more donations come in in the next few days. Our walk is Sunday. Have fun at yours!!
