Any good Holiday ideas?

poetdad@yahoo.com — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:14:33 GMT

You hit the nail on the head, the Holidays can be a good time or bad. People remind themselves to give, but they think of groups like Toys for Tots etc, so you have to get the message out. Other X-Mas ideas I have heard doing fairly well, organize Holiday Craft show (if you get a place donated you can charge per table or get craft donations), sign up for Charity Gift Wrapping stations (chain bookstores often do it). I have a Teammate doing a Holiday Wine Tasting this weekend.

Good luck, train well, raise lots.

Everyone is given a date to raise the money by. It is usually about 2 or 3 weeks before your event. If you do not make your goal by that date you provide TNT with a credit card that they will charge at that time. Following the charge you have One month from your event date to finish fundraising and they will remburse you;

I am Amy and this is my first marathon. I am doing this in memory of my brother who lost his battle with AML 10 years ago. I have been a casual runner; but never anything like this. I am looking forward to it. I am 3 weeks into training - and so far so good!

Training for 01.31.10 Miami -- any New Yorkers up for teaming up?

communityreply@lls.org — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 00:32:11 GMT

I recently signed up for the ING Miami Marathon and I excited...but this is my first time training for such an endurance sporting event.

Always been a gym goer, love to pounce away on the treadmill and am into strength training.

I am looking for a partner to pair up with, maybe take runs on the humid streets of the Bronx, New York or even at Central Park.

My gym membership permits a buddy to come along, with no cost to you...but this buddy has to be strong minded -- because there are times I'm not.

Already spoken with Kimberly and she will officially reviewing and passing along the word.

If I can't get a buddy...can anyone suggest ideas, other than just running the treadmill, to build up endurance for an ACTUAL marathon?

Shoot me suggestion, feedback, anything fellow thoners!

Fundraising Opportunity in Ithaca, NY

crazy311@gmail.com — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 20:49:44 GMT

Anyone want to help organize a fundraiser race in late Sept./ early Oct.?

Hey friends in Central New York! My name's Michele and I just signed up to run the Marathon distance at PF Changs Rock N Roll Marathon in Phoenix, AZ in January. I just graduated from Ithaca College with a degree in Communication Management, so I am all about the event planning! While working out today, I got an idea (surprise, surprise, running is always great for that). Why not work with a few other Team members to organize a race to benefit the LLS? I was thinking whoever organized this with me would split the proceeds evenly to go towards our own fundraising goals. We could charge a moderate amount and make a ton, since so many runners are looking for local races around here in the fall! What do ya'll think? I think you can access my e-mail, but if not, contact me here on the board and let me know!

Any Michigan folks doing the TNT 2010 Disney Marathon (full or half)?

communityreply@lls.org — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:04:20 GMT

Hello! I thought I would post and see if anyone else from my area is signed up for the Disney 2010 Marathon. I am going to the kickoff in Farmington Hills tonight. If you are going - I hope to see you there!

Also, as I am working on fundraising (50% there so far!! WOO HOO!), I have contacted 2 places about hosting events. 1. Super Bowl (Canton, MI): Hosting a Halloween Bowling Night; and 2. Jungle Java (Canton, MI): Hosting an evening w/ Santa there (50% of admission is donated; if we did Santa pics, we can keep whatever is above/beyond the materials cost).

I would LOVE to work with others on these fundraisers -- mainly to get people to attend. If you are interested, email me at theburz@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

Off and running ~
