SAN DIEGO MARATHON – CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
A HUGE congratulations to all of our San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and Half Marathon finishers!! You have officially joined 1% of the world’s population to successfully complete a marathon event!! You have truly made this a special season, and we hope you consider joining us for a future event soon.
Nationally, Team In Training raised over $12,000,000 for San Diego and I’m proud to say that $174,178 came from OUR TEAM!! Currently, we have raised $221,377.88, which is 89% to our goal of $250,000. When sending your thank you letters/emails please consider telling your friends/family to donate in honor of your accomplishment, and, even though you have reached your goal they are still welcome to donate on your webpage (or via check) as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is still looking to reach it’s goal of curing blood cancers. Also, (especially those of you still fundraising) send a follow up email to those who have not donated saying you completed your event, an overview of your race, and how you would still appreciate their donation. Many past participants have been successful with this type of post-event fundraising.
Please note that your reimbursement deadline for San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll is July 6, 2010. All you need to do is email Lindsey R a request to reimburse you and she will take care of everything. It will take 2-3 week to receive your reimbursement via check in the mail. You can only request one reimbursement and you can only request up to the amount you were charged at final funds. Please let Lindsey know if you have any questions about reimbursement policies.
GO TEAAAAAAM!
