I just went through and read a bunch of the threads on Relay For Life....and I am more confused than ever!
I have a friend who is a "Team Captain", and she is hoping to recruit 50 team members, and raise $7500 before the event June 15 & 16. She asked me about doing a fundraiser in May for their May fundraising project (They are already doing one in April)
Here are the emails that we have had back and forth (we have a friend Michelle, who died from breast cancer in January)
Hudsonville Public Schools has been greatly affected by cancer this year. Lives of many of our staff members and students have been changed forever by this terrible disease. For this reason, we have formed a team to take part in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, which will take place on June 15 & 16, 2007 at West Ottawa High School.
I am serving as the Team Leader for this event and would love it if you would consider making a donation to our team. ....... Any amount, large or small, will have a great impact on cancer research and will serve to to remember those lost to cancer, support those fighting cancer, and rejoice with those who have fought this disease and won.
Our goal is to recruit 50 team members and raise $7500. With your help, we can far surpass this goal! Making a difference in the fight against cancer can start with you!
She sent the above email at the exact same time that I was also sending out an email about my own Online Fundraiser for HELP WHIP CANCER......
She than replied w/ this:
Hi Becky,
I love that we're working for the same great cause! Great minds think alike! Michelle would be so proud of us!
Tell me more about how it would work to work together on this. We are doing a ReLEI for Life in our buildings next week -- passing a sand bucket filled with Hawaiian Leis from building to building, and anyone who donates can wear a lei and the school that donates the most gets a Hawaiian pizza party -- so I'd love an idea to try for a May event....we have pretty strict requirements for what we can do with school email etc., so let me know how it works and I can check into it.
I have no idea how to respond to her email......what does a Relay For Life Fundrasier look like? Is all of the fundraising done before the actual event? IF so, than what is the event for? (I mean, the money's already been raised, so what is the purpose of the event?)
I would like to get back to her tomorrow at the latest.......could someone help me in my confusion?
