1 Week to Race Day
- Call or email each runner and check on their progress with donations. Remember that your goal is for each runner to raise $20. Confirm the date/time/place with each runner and remind the runner to arrive at the Run For Reagan 30-minutes prior to the race, and bring his/her Record of Individual Donations (pdf) along with the money that has been raised. Each runner that is not a collegiate member of TKE needs to bring a simple permission slip (pdf).
- Post flyers around campus to help with marketing. It would be great to have a large turnout on Race Day to support your runners and creating a buzz about the event will increase attendance.
- Talk with professors about getting a few minutes in class to promote the race. Remember, you are trying to create a buzz on campus about your event so that you can increase attendance at the Run For Reagan. This is important because you are going to ask for donations on Race Day. The more people at race day, the more you will raise in donations.
- If you are allowed to, chalk a highly visible area of campus to create awareness.
- Acquire the following supplies: enough drinking water for 20 runners, horseshoe with purple ribbon, trash bags, 20 white envelopes. You also need a table and chairs for the check-in area and a chair for the first aid officer.
