Special Laps & Events

Several organizational meetings are scheduled prior to the Relay. Each team should send either a team captain or another representative from their team to these meetings.

Team registration forms can be completed by hand or done online.  Online registration allows teams and team members to create their own web pages and accept credit card donations.  Team captains must establish a team web page before team members can register online.  To form a team or join one go to: http://events.cancer.org/rflctwindham.

For questions or help, contact Caroline McCall at caroline.mccall@uconn.edu

Meetings are held at 6:00 pm at Windham Hospital in the

    • Team captains that recruit another team receive a Relay for Life duffle bag.


    • 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.  Team captains must hand in a list of eligible team members.  Prize certificates will be issued which must be redeemed before the expiration date listed on the certificate.  See this page for further details and pictures.


    • Team Captains' Raffle:  For each Captain's Meeting that you attend, your name goes into a drawing bucket.  Great prizes will be awarded at the Wrap-up meeting in November.  The more meetings that you attend, the better your chances of winning.  In addition, there will be prizes awarded at each meeting for answering quizzes about the ACS, so read your team captain's handbook for the answers.


    • Team Awards: "Total Funds per capita" (total monies raised by your team divided by the # of team members), "Most Luminarias Sold by Bank Night", "Spirit Recognition" and "Team Fundraising Clubs"($1,000 = Sunshine Club, $2,500 = Bronze Club, $5,000 = Silver Club, $10,000 = Gold Club, $15,000 = Platinum Club, and $25,000 = Purple Club)


    • On-Line Fundraising Awards:  "Top on-line individual fundraiser", "Top on-line team fundraiser" and "Top on-line emailer" (each email must be sent to at least 10 people)   


    • NEW... T-Shirt Design Awards: The shirts delivered to teams this year will no longer have the team name printed on the back.  This will allow teams to get their shirts earlier than past years (and will save us about $4,000 in overhead costs).   Teams will be encouraged to put their team names on their own shirts and have fun decorating them. There may be a "fashion show" during the Relay where the most creative team shirts would be awarded prizes.

    A Relay For Life Booth at each of the following locations:

  • Windham 3rd Thursdays 6 - 9 PM (Booth in front of Rajeans)
