90% of our teams fundraising comes from emails.

1. Don’t be scared to send the emails to anyone and everyone.
2. Make sure to send 3 emails total (one intro and why you Relay, one reminder email with status to date, and one last reminder right before Relay) We notice people donate during the reminder and final email more often then the 1st one sent!
