Hi 9th Line Trailblazers. The countdown is on ! 

I am so pleased that you all agreed to be part of the 9th Line Trailblazers! My job as Team Captain is to "Energize" you to get out there and start recruiting your sponsors. 

One thing that I have found helpful is a personal email to my friends and family explaining my connection to Coldest Night of the Year and why it's important to me and to our community.  I have found that even people from other communities are willing to donate if they see my passion about supporting this very worthy cause.

Another trick that I learned from is to add a tagline on my email signature to subtly let people know that I am participating in Coldest Night of the Year and providing the Donate link.  This works!  I have had to up my personal goal because I received an unexpected significant contribution from someone who responded to my email tagline.

So far I have set the Team Goal at $3000.  I summed up our individual goals, then added a bit to make it a stretch goal.  So please go in and make sure that your personal stretch goal is recorded and revise (upwards!) if needed.  

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you.

Captain Tanja
