The weather prediction for Saturday, April 30th is 82 degrees during the day and nothing but stars at night!! Be sure to have plenty of sun screen and if you haven’t considered having a canopy, you probably should now… check with your Team Captain for more info. We would also recommend the following for each of your team campsite areas:
~ a tent - it’s a great place to store your personal possessions while you’re Relaying and of course a place to crash and get away when the time comes. Many Teams will have multiple tents at their site.
~ lawn chairs – try to anticipate how many your team will need and have them there so that everyone will feel welcome and comfy at your team’s site.
~ ice cooler – ice, ice baby! It’s going to be hot so make sure you plan accordingly.
~ water – Beach Cities Vending will be donating bottles of water, sugar-free Gatorade, and some juices…but it’s going to be hot, so be prepared.
~ sun screen, visors, hats!!!! Our Fight Back Chair Tower Oncology will be happy to tell you why!
~ snacks – keep your energy up, we need you on the track! We have some food plans, but it never hurts to be prepared. Just be sure to be careful and respectful with El Rodeo School’s track. We are asking that NO FOOD be on the track. PLEASE be respectful of our venue…and remember…we are our OWN clean up crew.
~ pillows, blankets and flashlights - You want to be comfortable in between walking the track watching the show and of course when your are out on the track and you have some down time. Don’t forget your flashlight for that 3am wake up to walk at your scheduled time. You want to be able to lace your tennies!!
~ clothes – don’t assume because I’m the Chair and you’re a sweet innocent by-stander that a water balloon or three won’t be headed in your direction!! Bring a change of clothes: light for the day and layers for the cool of the night.
~ personal needs items - we have full service restrooms, but there is no hot water. You may want to have some wipes handy…just sayin’
~ entertainment: games, cards, frisbee, etc. – we have a TON of stuff planned for you, but again, this is 24 hours and it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.
~ sunglasses – DUH! This IS Beverly Hills!!
~ costumes – is your team doing any theme laps? Would you like the rest of us to join you?
~ trash bags – if we clean as we go, we won’t keep the soccer players waiting on Sunday when we’re trying to leave.
~ first aid – we will have a paramedic on the grounds, but knock-on-wood, you never know…
~ money protectors - keep that cash safe!! Robert, our ACS Staff Partner, and I will be making bank runs throughout the day and will be collecting from each team as the day goes by. Put some careful thought into how you want it stored in the meantime.
~ your camera – PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE get lots of pics and get them to me via email just as soon as you can after Relay so we can get all the good ones on our Facebook page!!!
~ CASH for the Luminaria Bags and all of the fundraisers – remember, we need to sell 1,000 bags to line the track so our Luminaria Ceremony is amazing and unforgettable!! $10 each or 3 for $25 … the registration staff will be prepared to take Luminaria Bag funds and allocate it to individuals each purchaser wants their donation to go to for credit… including themselves of course. Have you seen the great recognition prizes for raising funds!!?
~ your friends and family – have you signed up on your team’s walk schedule to make sure someone from your team is on the track for the entire 24 hours!!?
~ and of course…bring your TENNIS SHOES!!
Did anyone else notice that we’ve already raised over $68,000!!!? With an additional $11,500 in sponsorships, that’s $80,000 and officially DOUBLE of what we raised last year - YOU GUYS ROCK!!! We just can’t say it enough to each and every one of you… THANK YOU!!!!!!
Let’s make 2011 an event to remember for a very long time and raise a ton of funds so that more people will be able to celebrate more birthdays!!
Remember, raising at least $100 will guarantee you receive your 2011 Relay For Life t-shirt!
See you on the track!
I get really passionate about what I do. More specifically, the opportunities the results of my work provide for my clients. Or anyone, really.
Lately, almost anyone I speak with is referencing some form of ‘paradigm shift’, be it business, personal, technological, political, or social. It seems to be one of the new buzz words out there.
As the last few weeks have shown us that hell hath no fury like Google scorned (in the case of J. C. Penney, Forbes, and Overstock.com), I wanted to share a gentle reminder about the importance of clean SEO.
