The Basics

You must have at least 10 people to make a team.

Each team member must fill out a registration form OR register online. A team member can only register online if the Team Captain has FIRST created the team online.

Each team member must pay agree to pay $35 registration fee OR raise at least $150 in donations by September 14, 2007.

You must have contacted the Teams Co-chair by September 14 with your team name, and the number of people on your team.


NOTE:
A person who raises $0-$130 in donations must pay the $35 registration fee.
A person who pays the registration fee and then raises $150 does NOT get their money back



At the time of this posting there is still plenty of time (roughly 70 days!) to recruit new team members and work towards raising at least $150 per team member.

Check out the official Run website link to see the list of incentive prizes if you raise $300 or more.


Thank you for all your efforts, without you we wouldn't be that much closer to finding a cure. If you have any questions contact us at teams_fredericton@@cbcfrun.org Remove the extra @ sign before sending.
Tips for Making Bank Deposits

It's never to early to start making deposits! Here are some tips to make your trip to the bank easier:

You can make two separate deposits with each donation sheet. There are two squares for the bank to stamp it. It is the number written in pen inside the bank stamp that counts.

Have your bills and coins organized - all facing the same way and sorted - the way banks like them. You can make deposits for team members, or you can have team members make their own deposits. If you have a large deposit, with multiple sheets, add up all the bills and coins and get a total and then add up the donation sheets and make sure you have the same total.

If you have a large deposit - try not to go to the bank at lunch time :) You can make deposits at any CIBC branch - 448 Queen, Smythe Street (near Burger King), or Nashwaaksis Place.

If you don't want to make a trip to the bank you can Charge all Donations to your Credit Card. See the bottom of the donation form. You can take the money you have raised and apply it to your credit card. In October, once National has received the forms, they will charge an amount to your credit card.

The Credit Card option doesn't work if you have received Cheques payable to the Foundation. Make sure your cheques are payable to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, this is written on the bottom of the donation sheet. Verify that the person signed and dated the cheque.

...Plan Ahead !! Be patient. The Run for the Cure Committee knows how much time, effort, training and planning the CIBC puts into this event every year. We appreciate how many donation forms the Tellers process each year and we are extremely grateful. We also appreciate the time and efforts contributed by the Team Captains! With a little organization, and patience, things will go smoothly.

See you on Run Day!!
