WHO IS ON A TEAM?
A team can be made up of co-workers, friends, family members, club members, or any combination. The important thing is that a team works together, helps each other in fundraising and other activities, and celebrates together at Relay.

HOW TO GET A TEAM TOGETHER
The Team Captain is a leader who forms a team, works with the Event Committee, and is the central organizing person for the team throughout the year and for the Relay event itself.
We ask that each team collect at least $100 in donations per team member, and the $10 commitment fee per member.
First of all, you have the enormous satisfaction of knowing that we are one step closer to a cure, thanks to you!
click on the following link to an American Cancer Society webpage where you can send a postcard to invite someone to participate with you. It's a great, easy way to get someone involved! When you are done, just click on the Back button on your browser and you'll come back to this page.
Contact your local event or your LOCAL American Cancer Society Office for help. We'll match you up with an existing Team or help you put one together!
1. Contact your local ACS office and ask for the event staff partner for your event. He or She'll send you a Team Captain's Kit and tell you more about the event.
2. Find 8 to 15 people who would be willing to participate in the event. There are lots of ways to get a team together:
3. Submit a Participant's Information and Waiver Form (available here ) from each member of your team and include their $10 commitment fee. Keep copies of these forms for your records. Put all of this information in your Team Registration Information Envelope, fill out the envelope, and submit it to a Committee Member or at a Team Captains Meeting (meeting schedules here).
4. Organize fundraising events with your team. Imagination is the word, but you can get some ideas here.
5. Continue to collect donations up until the day of the event. Make sure that your team puts luminaria requests, donations, and raffle ticket stubs/donations in their fundraising envelopes and bring them to the event, or turn them in at a Team Captain's meeting.
6. If you can't get 8 people together, contact your ACS Staff Person and we'll get you matched up today. And if you get more than 15, try to create another team with another willing Captain!
