Hi TeamLaurynxAddiction!
Lisa and I were discussing sponsorship and raising money for our run today. Any money raised would go towards a scholarship fund that we establish in Lauryn's name. Are you all interested and, if so, any ideas regarding going about this?
I will order the women's shirts this weekend, so please let me know your preference if you have not done so. Any yellow shirt from this site works, although I suppose it would be nice if we all aimed for the same shade of yellow. Leaning towards this in "Lemonade" though.
Best wishes for hard training!
xoxoxo,
t.

I think the sponsorship is a great idea. I wonder if the staff at channel 58 here in MKE would have ideas on who to get to sponsor us? I don't have any specific ideas, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteDennis Mustain is sponsoring $5.00 per mile!
ReplyDeleteI am going to talk to the Milwuakee Wave owner to see what he will do. Also put it out on my facebook and created an event with all the info. I think I am better at this money thing than the running thing :)
That's awesome, Lisa!! Is it tacky to email people?
ReplyDeleteI could post it on my facebook, too...but I'm wondering about details of payment method...?
ReplyDeleteT- I don't think e-mail is tacky. Come to think of it, when my friend ran with Team in Training, she e-mailed and mailed out a little personalized letter explaining what she was running for. It worked for me--I donated, though with a big organization like that, it was easy because they had it all set up online. We could do a paypal account or something?
ReplyDeleteemailing is just fine. You can create an excel spreadsheet of people that want to sponsor you. when the race is over we can send out a thank you with a friendly invoice and stamped envelope.... i will collect if you want.
ReplyDeletei can also make personalized flyers for each of you to use with a sign up form.
let me know.
Lisa
