Does your team have a "summer break"?
How do you fundraise when your office or sporting team or quilting group is "closed" for the summer?

We'd love to hear about.

A couple of fundraising examples I heard about recently:

A team is buying the 1/2 lb choclate bars and reselling them. They are actually buying them in the US but the important thing is it's a unique product that the team can get for a low investment and add a couple of dollars to the price. It adds up quickly.

Another team has set a goal (very important) and if they reach it, they get to shave their coach's head. The shaving head is common but this time it's being used as a TEAM motivator.

When I was a team captain, I put a Penny Jar in the lunch room. I put a nice sign on it and a pink ribbon. Over 6 weeks that penny jar raised 40-60 dollars. More then one of the events I had planned! And I didn't even look at it...well I checked to make sure it wasn't missing :)



Let us know what your team is doing teams_fredericton@@cbcfrun.org (remove the extra @ sign before sending)
and don't forget to send your event to Capital, KHJ and the Fox for free publicity

Team Captain Meeting

This year we will be having semi monthly team captain "meetings".

Who should attend these get togethers?

New Captains, Captains with problems or questions, Captains looking for forms or information kits.

The first one will be June 27 at 6:30 until 8:00 pm at Riverview Ford board room (corner of Hanwell and Prospect).

I imagine these "meetings" as more of a drop in with your question or problem and we'll talk about it face to face, rather then via a chain of emails or telephone tag :)

Just another contact option to make the Team Captain experience as easy as it can possibly be.

Beth and Lauren
