FYI - I have been in contact with our local ACS. We had the first meeting on getting the Making Strides walk together. I booked two fundraisers and am oon the entertainment committee. Get in contact with your local ACS office through cancer.org!
 
Hey!!! There you are! I was just thinking about you today and was going to PM/email to see how you were. How are things going?
 
I am just wondering how did you approach them, did you take any material with you? I am think of getting on contact with my local branch as well.

Last year I called them to see if I could come to the Relay kick-off to discuss fundraising opportunities. Because of that, I was invited to this year's kick-off. Then I talked with the person in charge of strides and said I was interested in helping as well as doing fundraisers for strides participants. I am now a volunteer, so I have my feet in the door!
