Tonight, the Relay for Life Board members and the Recruitment Committee got together and had a 2 hour phone a thon. Using the records from last year, we called all of the 2011 Relay captains, thanking them for their participation last year and asking if they would consider either being a team captain for this year or at least signing up to be on a team. There were about 200 team captains from last year. Lots of them did not pick up or had graduated, but we got a hold of some who said they would be willing to sign up again. I felt like a true telemarketer making all of these calls one after another- reading off of a script, no less! After sending all of the follow up emails, we will hopefully see a sharp increase in fundraising and participants. So far, we have registered 60 participants composing 26 teams, and $3,563. Not bad for 75 days left! So far, my team has raised $30. For more information on UPenn's Relay this year, feel free to browse the link below!
