Fundraising Update & Housekeeping
Mission Fuel
Our fall season team is
still moving the needle
with a fundraising
total of $24,581 this
week! Our 14 Flex
participants have
raised over $20,000!
Disney is continuing to
raise more and more,
with $6,330 in the
bank!
***Adirondack ½
Marathon paperwork
is due TOMORROW
Friday, August 23rd. It
is extremely important
I get this paperwork to
register you for the
race.
If anyone would like
winter season
brochures to display
anywhere in the
community, please let
me know!
I hope everyone has a
great weekend! Stay
tuned for a photo
contest. Hint: start
taking pictures of your
training. Show us how
relentless you are for a
cure!
When we think fundraising
we automatically think…
Great now I need to ask my
friends to donate money.
Well not exactly! As a TNT
volunteer we raise more
than money. We mission
fuel and give hope to
patients and family.
Its time that we get focused
on Mission Fuel and not
fundraising! Mission Fuel is
a charitable donation given
to a non-profit organization
that adds value to the
organizations mission and
transforms donors and
volunteers into mission
leaders.
Since 1988, Team in
Training has raised over 1.3
billion dollars in Mission
Fuel. The funds collect
empower research
scientists to discover cures
and provide resources to
patients in need. Most
importantly, the donation
given to a TNT volunteer
also connects millions of
people to our lifesaving
mission. The value of this
work is immeasurable.
How to raise mission fuel.
1. Learn how LLS serves
your community.
2. Make every ask a
mission moment.
3. Always connect your
supporters to LLS amd
your honored hero!
