4 Weeks to Race Day
- Ask your Greek Advisor who you need to contact in order to reserve a campus track, either indoor or outdoor. Contact this person and reserve the track for a day/time approximately four weeks in the future. Be sure to ask for a copy of the rules and regulations you will be expected to follow.
- Pass a sign-up sheet around the chapter to sign-up runners. A typical track is 1/4 mile, which means that you need to recruit 20 runners in order to complete the 5 mile relay race.
- Find community businesses willing to sponsor the Run For Reagan. Your plan is to make 20 t-shirts (one for each runner), so you need to raise enough through sponsorships to cover the cost of the t-shirts. If, for example, the shirts cost $12 each, you will need to sell 5 sponsorships at $50 each in order to cover the cost of the t-shirts. Unless you can raise enough in sponsorships to cover the cost of the t-shirts, don't pursue this step. But, if you can cover the cost, then you want to put the Run For Reagan (eps) logo on the front of the t-shirt and the names/logos of your sponsors on the back. It will take two weeks to have the t-shirts produced, so you only have 10-days to sell these sponsorships. Here are some places to look for sponsors:
- If you have a meal-plan, ask your food distributor.
- If you buy cleaning supplies from a local distributor, ask them to sponsor.
- Ask the members of your Board of Advisors if their businesses can sponsor.
- Ask the members of your chapter to contact their parents' businesses.
