MSABC Walk in October...

[pampmomof3]

Hi guys! I signed up at NC and finally sat down to export my contact list over to The American Cancer SOciety website. Well, I had trouble b/c I sent over 689 contacts to the site and my guess is that it was way too many to send at one time. @<hidden> Noon today, I sent it out by breaking it up into groups and guess what, I immediately recieved a $100 donation and then just got another $25! I'm so excited! :D

By the way, I sent out the Join my team by walking email instead of soliciting my customers by donating. :) We'll see what happens!

So, are you walking and if so, have you sent your email out yet?:)

Oh, I got my cute hat today so don't forget when you sign up to add your cons. #.

I wanted to lead a team, but our closest walk in TX is in Houston which is a 3 hour or more drive from San Antonio. It was going to be hard enough to recruit other consultants to walk with me, but if we are driving that far we would need a hotel at least one night and I know many of them won't do it. I'm a little po'd about that!

[Chef Kearns]

BTW, Congratulations on the immediate response and donations. Many many people do want to help with this campaign.

[pampmomof3]

Update!! We're up to 11 people and $730 in donations! YAY!! We're in the top 10 teams with PC *right now we're team #7 but we'll beat 6th place w/ $5!! :D:D:D AND, we're tied in 5th place with our county!!

So, who's doing this as well??? :D

Oh, by the way, we're in Brevard Florida and our name is Cookin up a Cure for Cancer!

I got my hat today!!!!!

I showed my mom and she said, "If I walk with you, can I get that hat?"

[chefmeg]

give the lady the hat, Colleen!!!! I am going right now to sign up just based on Kristi's excitement!


BTW~how is Carolyn???? Haven't "seen" her on here in a few days....does she have power??

[pampmomof3]

Thanks guys!! We're up to 18 walkers and $1000.00!! Yes!! That was our original goal but I upped it to $3k!

[dannyzmom]

I'm here and I am ticked about the MSABC sign up -- what am I doing wrong?> It takes me aroundin circles and I cant get signed up! ARGH!!!

[pampmomof3]

Call me Carolyn! I'll help you. What what are you trying to do?

Congrats Colleen on your hat. I love mine and wore it yesterday. Too cute!

[bethcooks4u]

Well, I started a team and set a goal. Emailed to my list inviting them to join the team or donate and NO ONE has joined or contributed. I won't be able to walk after all because of my knee issues but was told at NC that we didn't have to physically walk. With the lack of interest I am getting I feel guilty about getting my hat today.

I should have known. I do a fundraiser every May and I get very pitiful results every time. My family doesn't take part at all. (my mother died of cancer, you'd think at least the family would do something - and I do pledge my entire commission even though that makes all promotion of the show out of pocket)

I am doing a fair on Saturday and will have forms with me and wear the hat and my pink HWC shirt and talk it up. I will also offer to contribute $10 in the name of anyone who spends $100 in the next month. I hope that brings in some donations...

[chefmeg]

I am having a problem getting my contacts entered on their site to email folks! HELP!

[pampmomof3]

Meg, call me!! I'll help you. :)

Beth, don't feel bad. You have a VERY valid excuse of why you're not walking. :)



I know this must sound crazy but we're now up to $1325!! We're tied in 3rd place for TPC right now! :D

The not walking is not the problem - it's that I'm not getting the donations. :cry:

[pampmomof3]

I know. I guess I just didn't finish writing my sentence. :) Not getting donations is okay. It's tough out there right now. we have 18 people on our team right now and only 9 have donations! Only half of our team. So, it's not just you thats having a hard time getting them!! Try going the recruit walkers to your team. That's the route that I took and man, it's paid off for the ACS. I only have $125 in donations so far for myself.

[dannyzmom]

I just want to join a team so I can start raising $!
Kristi, PM me your # and I'll call you tomorrow ...
THANKS!

[pamperedlinda]

Great job Kristi!

[pampmomof3]

Our walk is tomorrow and we're now at $3525! My dh can't wait for this walk to be over b/c it's consuming a lot of my time. :rolleyes: It'll be nice to take a breather!

[pamperedbecky]

Wow, Kristi, great job!!!! That's so cool.

My team is small and probably not getting many donations. We're at $1435 and I hope a few more donations come in in the next few days. Our walk is Sunday. Have fun at yours!!

Wow Becky! $1435 is great as well! I love that we're rockin out with this. I have a lot to do tonight for ours tomorrow but good luck on Sunday! :D

[pampmomof3]

OUr walk was today and it was VERY successful! I'm really excited to find out our final numbers after people turned stuff in but I know we hit $4000 at least!!

Here's a pic of some of our team!

[finley1991]

Great job Kristi!

[DebbieJ]

Very cute!

So did you get any leads?

[pampmomof3]

I got 2 bookings for NOvember and have their numbers to call and LOTS of people who stopped by and of course directed them to my website to order or contact me for pink stuff.

I'll see in 30 minutes when I get an online activity email!

[pamperedlinda]

Which one is you?

I love the shirts with the big pink ribbon.

[pamperedbecky]

Great job Kristi!! Were those tshirts the ones for sale AT the walk?

How did you get the leads? THat's a great idea to bring some cards to pass out. Of course, my whole team IS consultants, but who knows who else we'll meet!

[pampmomof3]

Which one is you?

I love the shirts with the big pink ribbon.

I'm the one on the far right with the pink TPC shirt on and my 2 boys are in front of me and Lauren is up front right in front of Matthew (the osh kosh shirt).

You received those shirts if you had $100 or more in donations which I did but I was torn whether to wear that or my PC shirt. I stuck with PC to get our name out there a little more! :)

Thanks guys! I really can't wait until they have all the donations up on the page updated. ;) When is your walk Becky and Deb?

[pampmomof3]

Well I just got an online activity email with one order totaling $128!

She got:
Item
5415 Simple Additions® Squares
4467 Simple Additions® Pink Bowls
5414 Simple Additions® Cups

Total: $128.00

[pamperedbecky]

How cool, Kristi!!!!

Hmmm, I wonder if all locations are doing it that way. I've had personally over $700 in donations and haven't heard anything about a t-shirt. Bummer because I want one!!

My walk is tomorrow and Deb's is too, but we're at different locations.:)

Kristi, do you know if our MSABC websites will still accept donations after the walk? I tried asking our local office here and she didn't seem to know for sure. What I'm doing from my fundraiser/budget-friendly workshop show on the 27th is donating all of my commission and I wanted to put it in as a donation through my MSABC website. I still want it to count for our team, but I don't know if there's a cut off.

yes, you can still turn them in. I know ours is collecting until 12/31 but I'm not sure if that's just in general or if it can be applied to a team.

Good Luck Tomorrow and CONGRATS on $700!! If you were here (if it's not all around) you should get a fleece blanket over $500 and a jacket if you reach $1000. The gifts get sent after the walk.
