On behalf of the Brigham Running Team, we hope you all had a lovely Valentine’s Day yesterday filled with plenty of treats to fuel you for all of your training miles!
Fundraising Tip of the Week
Remember that it’s not uncommon for friends and family to express their intention to donate to your fundraising page but then unintentionally forget to! Consider sending a follow-up email or text to those individuals you initially reached out to. Take the opportunity to update them on your training progress, sharing personal insights and accomplishments! Politely remind them of the ongoing opportunity to donate to your fundraising page, emphasizing that there’s still ample time to be part of your journey and make a meaningful impact through their donation!
Remaining Fundraising Milestones
All runners who raise $9,000 by March 31 will receive a B.A.A. Celebration Finishers Jacket or any previous incentive for our third fundraising milestone!! Make sure to check out these great swag pieces that ALL teammates are eligible to receive if they reach the fundraising benchmarks listed under the swag! If you are expecting a matching gift, check, Donor Advised Fund (DAF) gift, or have concerns or questions please email marathonteam@bwh.harvard.edu ASAP.
