Exciting Times - I'm a Team Captain!!!

EXCITING TIMES!!! I am a MS Walk Team Captain For Tennessee Mid-South Chapter! I Volunteered at the MS Support Group Meeting we had on Saturday. It's a great thing. I need something to keep me busy since I am not currently working and even though I am currently going through a flare up (a pretty bad one at that) I need something to occupy my mind!

I'm thinking of fund raising ideas and such right now! I will be working with the MS Society directly and trying to get the word out there so if any of you have ever been a team captain before by all means feel free to fill me in! :)

Our goal is to raise 504K. Uh...wow! I will have to become a fund raising queen by the end of this! But I love a Challenge.

Feel free to leave ideas in the Comments Section!

I have a couple of ideas. You could create a FB page for the walk itself and set up a link to where to donate. Or you can create an event through FB with a link to your site. You could use Twitter to post your link to where you could sign up or donate. You could see if your church will post information about it in your newsletter. You could even email your local newspaper and ask them to do a story about it. Some local newspapers are online. On there you can put the actual event of the walk and provide a link to the donate site. And my final one...radio. Radio stations are a great place to post on their communit events calendar. Usually it's 3-4 weeks before the event. I think that's all the ideas I have for now. Good luck, Team Captain! I know you'll be great at it!
