BE A GEORGIA ROCK STAR!

OVER 20 YEARS OF SAVING LIVES

Since 1988, over 380,000 TNT participants have raised more than $900 million for lifesaving cancer research and services to help blood cancer patients live longer and better lives. Now, we're aiming for the $1 billion mark, and you can help make it happen! 

STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE:

Look, we know that raising thousands of dollars and training to complete a marathon, century ride, adventure race, hiking event or triathlon is challenging, but we know that you can be successful! In fact, we want to challenge you even further to go above and beyond your minimum fundraising goal and become a bonafide Georgia Rock Star! By raising $1,000 or more over the fundraising minimum for the event you have chosen, you will receive the following exciting incentives and special recognition:

• A framed certificate acknowledging your success
• Recognition in the Georgia Chapter's newsletter

Over the coming weeks leading up to your event, you will receive e-mail updates on new incentives and offers to motivate you to accept this challenge. Be on the look out for more information soon and get excited!

At select Rock 'n' Roll events, the top 10 fundraisers from across the nation will be recognized at the inspiration dinner and will receive special race weekend incentives.

REASON BEHIND THE DESIGN

The popular Team In Training phrase, "Saving lives, one mile at a time," borders the Georgia Rock Star center in the shape of a star. The emblem was designed to represent LLS' North Star 2015 Vision, in which we envision that in the year 2015, the great majority of people who have been diagnosed with a blood cancer will be cured or will manage their illness with a good quality of life.
