If you are interested in forming a walk team, please contact us by  email  or by phone at (508) 856-5512. We will provide you with all the information that you need to put together a winning team! A team can consist of any number of people - it's all about working together to eliminate cancer in our lifetime.

 

Fundraising Tips:

  • Set a personal goal and send a letter to everyone you know. It is a rule of thumb that 50 or more letters usually equals your goal.
  • Be open about why you are walking and why they should contribute to this cause or join your team.
  • In fund-raising letters, ask for what you feel each individual would be willing to give.
  • Remind your donors to utilize corporate matching programs.
  • Use other affiliations to raise money or recruit team members. Let your church, school, or any other organizations that you belong to know what you are doing and how the members can help. See if you  can put a notice in your church bulletin, school paper, or organization newsletter.
  • Use your place of business to place information and a chart on how your fund-raising is going; make sure co-workers can see it.
  • Utilize company newsletters or bulletin boards to get information out. See if your company will put up posters or table tents in a lunchroom or even let you pass out brochures or information. Let us know how we can help.
  • Don't overlook web technology and the simple outlet of email.
  • Make sure to send a thank you to every donor or new recruit and also a letter following the Walk to let everyone know how you did.

Together we can make a difference!
