Run for the Son Requirements Explained:
Who are my 9 additional runners?
Your runners will sponsor you by filling in your name under “Student I am sponsoring” on their registration form. They can participate in the race in-person or virtually or do what is called the “Phantom Runner” option. Sponsorship is not applicable with $15 registration, only $25 or above. Try your best to get sponsors from outside the church.
What if I asked people, but I need to find out if they actually sponsored me?
It is your responsibility as the student fundraising to keep up with this information. This year, we want to make this info accessible to you so that you can keep up with this information. There are two options:
A. GOOGLE DOC: this will show how many people have signed up to sponsor you, and whether our records show you have sponsored yourself (remember you, the student, need to be signed up!).
B. SPONSOR LIST: on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights at the Radiate Welcome Desk, you can see a list of the names of people that have signed up to sponsor you.
Volunteering
If you work Race Day…
Pease sign up for this on the signup genius at State of Radiate. You will receive an email from Mary Ann Gregson (our Volunteer Coordinator) for your report time. When you arrive on race day, sign in at the student volunteer table to receive your assignment. You will receive a completion receipt when the race is over, we have cleaned up, and Katie has dismissed you. Please dress warm, because you may be outside! If you plan to run in the race, be sure to let Mary Ann know so she can place you accordingly. There are many different responsibilities on race day.
If you want to set up the race…
You MUST sign up for this, and space is limited. This is reserved for those that cannot work Saturday. Plan to be in the front lobby of the church Thursday, February 3 from 7-9 PM.
There are also some slots available to work at our Race Packet Distribution on Friday, February 4 from 2-7 PM.
If you plan to participate in office hours…
This must be because you have a legitimate reason that you cannot work Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. You will need to schedule your hours with Katie Meriwether NO later than February 17TH. (email: kmeriwether@burnthickory.com)
Any suggestions for help getting those last few sponsors?
Students may also work in one of the lobbies on Sundays or coordinate going to an adult LifeGroup.
There is a SignUp Genius set up on the Mission Trip Info Hub. Slots to do this run January 23-February 13, spaces are limited.
