Fundraising Tips
Each team member in Relay For Life is encouraged to raise $100 or more for their team effort. Therefore, if a team has 12 members, they should aim to raise $1,200.
Most teams choose to fundraise as a team, and then aim for a grand total rather than individual amounts. Relay For Life is not a 'pledge-style' event, so you should not seek promises of money for each lap you complete.
Donations should be collected and banked prior to the event, which saves you having to go back to collect money afterwards. Donations over $5 are tax-deductible and requests for receipts will be processed by the Cancer Society.
A Relay For Life homepage will be set up especially for your team captain.
