Relay Rap January 2013 - Canadian Cancer Society

Spring is in the Air...
Get social with us
Heading in to spring is a great time to start thinking about
Relay For Life and to set goals for your Relay fundraising
efforts. If you haven’t already set your personal fundraising
goal, do it today! The progress meter on your personal
fundraising page will encourage your donors to help you be
successful.
Download the Facebook app through your Participant Centre on relayforlife.ca. By downloading this app, you can add
the Relay logo to your profile picture, send and schedule
Newsfeeds, keep your friends up-to-date on your fundraising
progress and easily link to your personal fundraising page,
making it easy to ask for donations.
And remember when you are out fundraising just ASK! The
more people you ask, the more you will raise. To help you
raise $100 and make it easy to ask for donations, please
contact the Canadian Cancer Society Brant-Norfolk office at
(519) 753-2566 or e-mail Lacey Kempinski, Fundraising
Coordinator at [email protected] for great fundraising tools!

#WhyIRelay
“I am thankful for the Canadian Cancer Society and how they
support so many people affected by cancer. I am thankful for
my family and friends who support me in many ways through
their love, prayers and helping us with our fundraising. I know
that no one can do it alone and so, I Relay.”
- Rose, member of Super Karate Monkeys
