Walking Schedule

The time has come to start setting up the "walking" schedule.   Below are the times that we need covered.  Each time slot only needs one person walking, but multiple people can walk if needed. We would love to spread out our walkers so each time slot is filled, but please let me know if you have a conflict with your schedule.  Please post a "comment" with the day and time you would like to walk...first come first serve!   I'll update it each day with the names of our walker(s).   Remember, you don't have to officially be registered to fill a time slot.  We need all the help we can get, especially with those middle of the night times :)!

Info., Info. & More Info.

I had a great meeting last night and our team is soooo far ahead with Spirit Points, its not even funny! This is what I find amazing...last week I was hoping we would make it to 50% of our fund-raising goal and as of today, we are at 91%!!! We rock...or should I say, all of you rock!!

Team JensenII:
We now officially have Team Jensen II and shortly some names will be transfered over. I thought I would keep it easy and have Team Jensen I as a "friend" team and Team Jensen II as a "family" team. We will all be together the day of the event, its really just a clerical thing for ACS. If you are still wanting to join one of our teams, you can chose which one to join when you register on-line. There is still plenty of time!

Fund-raising:
I've had a few team members ask about fund raising, so I thought I would go over a few points. The goal for each team member is $100. You can ask family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. to donate to either Team Jensen, or under your participant name. The easiest way is to have them go on-line to the website and chose either "donate to a team" or "donate to a participant". Donations can be done either on-line (with a credit card) or off-line, but sending a check into either me, or the American Cancer Society. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about fund-raising. Even though we are close to our fund-raising goal already, it would be great to exceed it!!

Camp-Sites/Day Of:
I was able to pick our "camp-sites" at the meeting last night. We have three big areas all together. We plan on bringing some shade tents, chairs, tents, drinks, snacks, etc. Once it gets closer, if you are interested in bringing something, we can divy that up. Many participants actually sleep over on the field...I'm thinking we will go home at some point, but who knows, maybe we will get wild and crazy and camp out! I've heard that there is a lot of fun activities going on through the night. You can plan on coming for your alloted "walk" time...or for most of the day! There is going to be tons to do and see and lots of meal/snack options, drinks, etc. There will be live music, a silent auction and lots more. Each team will do some type of on-site fund-raising through out the day. We thought it would be fun to do a bouncy house, snow cones and/or cotton candy. I've heard that there is plenty for kids to do, so consider bringing the family out!

Ideas?:
Each team is asked to decorate their campsite and come up with some type of "theme". The event theme for this year is "There's No Place Like Hope" and is Wizard of Oz related. We can go this route, or do our own thing. Some teams have names like "Pirates of the Cureibbean" and will be going all out with "pirate" related goodies.

I keep calling Ryan our "warrior", so we could go this route, or do something "battle" related with camo decorations, etc. Any ideas...let me know, I would love to hear from you!!

Ok, I think thats it for now. Please let me know if you have any questions at all! Allie

Oh I Love You Guys!

Not even 24 hours after our donation request and we are well over 50% of our fund raising goal of $3000! You guys are the best!  The 250 Spirit Points will be ours!!  Thanks to all of you!! 

Be sure to check out the side-bar on the Blog to see all our great family and friends that have donated!

Will Team Jensen Win the Spirit Award?

Every year the American Cancer Society awards a team with the coveted "Spirit Award". So far, Team Jensen is in the lead for the award! Spirit "points" are earned by the number of participants you have, donations, meetings that I attend, etc. We have a team captain meeting on Monday and 250 points will be awarded to any team that has reached 50% of their fund raising goal by then. We are at 45%...so close! If you are wanting to donate to our team, donate before Monday, May 12th ,and we will be well on our way to getting the Spirit Points....and hopefully the award! How cool would it be if the "newbie" team were to win??!

I will have LOTS of info. for you after Mondays meeting. I will be picking out our camp sites, going over schedules, items to bring the day of the event and much more. I'll be sure to post the info. after the meeting.

Thanks for supporting "Team Jensen"!

Team Jensen is #1!

Its official, "Team Jensen" is in the top position out of 26 teams in both size and donations! I always knew we were the top dog, but now so does everyone else! We have reached over 40% of our fund raising goal with just over $1200! Our team is still growing, currently we have 22 members. There is still plenty of time to join our team and/or make a donation. Thank you so much for your support! It is very uplifting to our family to do some good with this crummy hand we have been dealt!
