12 days til Run Day

Here are a few tips and tricks:

Money is to be deposited at the CIBC before you come to Team shirt pick up

Team shirt pick up is at Riverview Ford, various times, check out cbcf.org, run location Fredericton for details

Arrange a team meeting place, there are 2400 people in the same shirt wandering around, you need a meeting place and time :)

There are ample port- a- potties behind the stage area

There is no admittance to the inside of Old Government House - unless it's the registration area.

There are no storage lockers.

There will be FREE water, juice, and bagels for participants

Bring some cash - last chance to purchase CIBC merchandise - socks, dog leashes, etc
Last chance to get an anniversary ball hat and key chain or raffle tickets on the guitar

FREE team photos on the front steps of Old Government House

Team members who are Breast Cancer survivors should visit the Pink Tent to get their pink survivor shirt as well as put their name in for a prize draw.

Pink Week is a launching of the CBFC CIBC Run for the Cure.


During the week of September 13th - 20th, enjoy a “Pink Dessert” from one of the following establishments:


THE BLUE DOOR
MAMA’S PUB
FRANK’S FINER DINER
BEAIRSTO’S
THE GRILL ON YORK

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Run for the Cure.


Join us October 5th for our 10th Anniversary !!

Team Registration Night

When - September 19th 4pm to 6pm

Where - Riverview Ford

What is this all about?

If you are a returning team captain then you know that in previous years we did it all via email, this year we are trying on something new. This format works in other sites and is actually the official format. In previous years emails went missing and teams were missed.

Please bring your team summary sheet to Riverview Ford with your team members sizes on it

The team summary sheet will be used to send the information to Valley Graphics for shirt printing.

Again, same rules as last year:

You must have 10 team members

Your team name can only have 26 characters

Shirt sizes are M, XL and XXL

Please include only Qualified team members. Those individuals who have paid the $40 registration fee or those who are fairly close to raising at least $150 in donations.

It does not have to be the team captain who drops off the form, a team rep can be sent.

Shout out to all my teams from Boiestown, Harvey, Stanley, Minto etc. You can just send us an email.

Questions, drop us a note at teams_fredericton@cbcfrun.org

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!!

Greetings,

For those familiar with this blog, you will notice we have a new layout!

and we've got all the team captain forms right here, in a list on the right hand side of the page.

Kits are slowly getting delivered to teams who are already registered online. As well as going out to schools in the Fredericton area.

If you would like a kit, simply download the materials from the list !! It's that easy.


Our team coordinators this year are Heather Perry and Debby Perry.
They can be reached at teams_fredericton @@ cbcfrun.org

If you're new the event, there are a few years of past postings to review and figure out how things work.


Have a great summer of fundraising,

Beth

1999-2008

Perhaps you saw our media release on the front page of the Daily Gleaner in January, if not then let me tell you that 2008 is the 10th Anniversary of the Run for the Cure in Fredericton. On October 5th we hope that you will join us in celebrating this milestone.

Look for special events happening throughout the city during the year. January to December.

Team kits will be sent out in June, however if you want to get started with some group fundraising feel free. Save your money in safe place to be deposited at the CIBC once the season gets officially started on June. Do not take any personal cheques as we do not have 2008 donation forms as of yet.

If you have any questions, just contact me at beth.ashton@@gmail.com (remove the extra @ before sending).

Have a happy spring,

Beth
