Prizes & Incentives: 

  • Individuals who raise and hand in over $250 prior to the event (not counting luminaria, corporate sponsor & registration money) are offered a variety of incentice prizes from the American Cancer Society.   Team captains must hand in a list of eligible team members.  (The form for recording this can be downloaded from the forms section of this website.  This form must be handed in by the end of the Relay.)  Prize certificates will be issued which must be redeemed before the expiration date listed on the certificate.As this is our second event this year, only those who are new at reaching the $250 level will be eligible for this prize.
  • Pacesetter Incentive: Individuals who raise over $2,500 (not counting corporate sponsorships or luminaria) will receive special recognition and a pacesetter jacket. 
  • Recruit a new team that raises over $1,000 and you can get an incentive.   (To get credit, you must let us know the team that you recruited ahead of time.)  
  • Prize Drawing:  For every $125 that an individual raises (donations and track signs only...does not include corporate sponsorships or luminaria sales) you get your name put into a drawing that will take place at the closing ceremony on June 5. (You get a raffle ticket for every $125 that you raise.)
  • Attendance drawing - everytime you attend a meeting, your name goes into a drawing. At each meeting we draw for small prizes. All entries are then entered in to one big drawing which is picked at the wrap up meeting. Prize for the spring event is yet to be determined.

Soon you will be able to take a look and download lists of incentive gifts and the forms to register for them at the "Prizes and Incentives" section of the "Forms" page of this website.
