You are about to embark on a great adventure---one that you will find both physically challenging and personally meaningful. You have joined an exceptional team of individuals dedicated to finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, myeloma and other blood related cancers. Over the next several months, you will train with team members to complete a full or half marathon, century ride or triathlon and raise funds for leukemia research, community education, and patient services. Throughout the season, your coaches, mentors, and coordinator will support you in every way possible.

The Participant Resource Guide includes a vast array of resources to help support you in your fundraising campagin.  From template letters, to fundraising event ideas and how-to's, to tax ID information -- it's all right here!

Our first efforts in getting you started is guiding you in your fundraising efforts. The following are the two key steps to the start to a successful fundraising campaign:

• Schedule your One-on-One Fundraising Session with your Team Manager.  Then start preparing your fundraising plan!  Click HERE to review and complete your Personal Fundraising Session Handout and click HERE to review and complete your Fundraising Strategy Worksheet.  Please complete both of these handouts before your 30 minute fundraising session.
  
• Review your Fundraising Planner.  You should have received this when you registered.  The Fundraising Planner can also be found HERE.  This covers:
  Fundraising 101: Establishing Your Donor Network,
  Fundraising 102: eFundraising
  Fundraising 103: Letters, Postcards and More!

Always remember the big picture of why you have joined Team In Training. The training and fundraising you are doing for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the patients we serve are important, unique, and generous. We are all proud to be part of your Team. Have Fun!
