| Fundraising Policies
The goal of Team In Training
is to increase funding to support the Society’s
mission while promoting fitness and healthy life-styles.
The mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s
disease, and Myeloma- and improve the lives of
patients and their families.
Fundraising Goal
The fundraising goal for each participant is established based on the event
they choose. The Society utilizes discounts and group rates to keep costs
as low as possible. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society provides all participants
with entry into the event (entry fee included), and for non local events
air, lodging, ground transportation and bike shipment (tri and cycle), and
a wetsuit for the tri program (based on the event chosen). Funds raised over the minimum are greatly
appreciated and help us to accomplish our mission. Additional funds over
the minimum may not be carried over to another event.
Recommitment dates and amounts
allow us to confirm your commitment to the team
and to raising the minimum set for your event.
This is necessary to complete travel and event
arrangements. The total fundraising
amount is due prior to departing for event!
- Funds raised may not be transferred to another
participant. This is a national Society policy.
- Funds raised may not be used to cover expenses
for guests.
Recommitment
- All team members must submit
a signed Recommitment Form unless you have reached
the Minimum Fundraising Goal, according to Paycor,
by the Recommitment Date.
- On the Recommitment
Date we will ask you to submit the signed “Recommitment
Form”,
confirming your commitment to the team and
to raising the
Minimum Fundraising Goal set for your event.
At this time we ask that you have in a set
amount
and that you secure your position on the
team with a credit card, which will be charged
to
bring you
up to the correct amount if necessary.
- On the Final fundraising
deadline -- we ask that you have completed your
fundraising up to the Minimum Fundraising Goal.
We will charge your card to bring you up to that
point if necessary. Funds charged will be reimbursed
at your request providing you fundraise the additional
funds within approximately one month after the
Fundraising deadline.
- Therefore, at Recommitment
you acknowledge that you will donate the difference
between what you have raised and the Minimum
Fundraising Goal by the due date. Your credit
card will be charged if you have not reached
the Minimum Fundraising Goal on the due date.
Should you decide not to recommit, you will need
to drop off of the team at this time knowing
that the funds you raised will go toward the
Society’s programs of research and patient
services.
