We’ve Raised How Much?!

Wondering just how all of your donations are adding up?  Well, I just got news from Wendy at TNT that so far, our team has raised an incredible

$676,002.96!

That’s alot of dough, but it still puts us just past the half-way point to our goal of $1.2 million.  With 8 weeks left until race day, there’s still time to reach and surpass our goal.  Even if you’ve reached your minimum, please continue to fundraise and help our team raise the most money any TNT team has brought in to-date.

Thank you!

Two Weeks ‘Till Re-Commitment

Re-What?!  Re-Commitment is a policy that TNT has to ensure that you’re still on board.  If you’re decided that maybe this Tri thing isn’t for you, this is your time to jump ship.  But, we’re really hoping that you’re up for the challenge of finishing what you started, and so this deadline will be as easy running to the south west corner of the reservoir.

Here’s the deal:  this week, you’ll receive a form from the TNT staff that you will need to fill out and send back to them by May 7th. If you’re in it for the long haul, but you haven’t quite reached that 25% of the minimum ($625), then TNT will charge the difference to you.  This will be reimbursed to you when you reach your fundraising minimum.

The TNT office will be holding recommitment conference calls to answer any questions they have. These calls will be held on:

Thursday May 1st 3:00pm
Friday May 2nd at 11:00am

The number to call is:
Dial-In Number:    (866) 546-6812
Conference Code:    8333102855

If you can’t call into one of these but have a question, please email us and we will do our best to help.   If you’re having trouble, remember that there’s no “i” in Team — talk to your mentor, call the LLS office, email us.  Go Team!
