Why Growth Potential Quality – I am here to help explain why we are talking about Growth. PotentAs Mike mentioned, this summit is going to focus on Growth, Potential and Quality and you may be asking yourself Why? Well, I’m here to answer that question. For the rest of this weekend, just think of me as the “Why Guy”.

And, to be true, I still hate cancer. Or, as my shirt says… I still firmly believe that cancer sucks. But that is not why I love Relay. My love for Relay stems from something else.

But love is stronger than cancer. And so I can proudly say that today, my parents at both 15 year cancer survivors. And I LOVE that.

And I LOVE People. I love these conferences. I love people. And I love what we are all capable of.

I love people that get up on stage and perform

I love people that use Relay as a time to reunite with friends past

And I love people that come to Relay to heal. To remember.Story of Kerry? The result – a feeling of belonging.

THANK YOU for having me. As you can guess, I really, really love Relay. I love it enough to put on a funny belt, tuck a t-shirt into dress pants, and dance around on stage with goofy music. I have been Relaying for 10 years and I LOVE Relay. Now, there are lots of reasons why I love Relay, but I want to tell you how I got to this love.

And what I found, and what I think everybody can agree with me, is that Relay gives us a sense of belonging.It fills our emotional need by giving us a support systemIt gives us opportunities to make friendsAnd as we write our history book about how cancer was eliminated, Relay gives us the ability to be a part of the biggest movement in the WORLD.And I LOVE belonging to that – don’t you agree?

But as much as Relay means… only 1 in 100 American Relay. Now, because there are 350 million American, that that means we have 3.5million relayers, and that is INCREDIBLE! But you and I certainly agree that the more, the merrier. And if Relay provides us this much value, is there more we can get from having more people? And if it means this much, to us, don’t we want to provide others the same opportunity?But lets try something… you stand up… and you stand up… Now run around for 10 seconds and see how many you can tag. Once you are tagged stand up… GO! Now, we have 20 people standing. And I go around and I ask for $10 from each, I have $200… that’s OK. Or if I’m really smart, I will go around and ask you all to go recruit 10 more people, and THEN get $10 from each – that equals $2000!!!Now lets find two more volunteers. Now get your table to stand up with you. If you can GROW your immediate network and THEN fundraise, what happens? 10 seconds, tag as many as you can…. If you get tagged, please stand up/ I’ll give you 10 seconds to plan, and then 10 seconds to run around….. GO!!!!!!! Now, how many do we have standing?

So let me give you something to feel good about…When the number appears on this screen, I want you your hand if you think you know what it means…You all might not be in the lab cooking up a cure, but you are eliminating cancer as a threat by your fundraising. Survivors in this room are living PROOF of the progress we are making. You very own Mary – Mary’s story if time permits…The progress we are making because of YOUR fundraising. And that is why growth is so important.

It feels GOOD to be recognized.And I think we can all agree. That once we belong to something, being recognized is the next step to keep you engaged. Whether you are a team captain, participant, or committee member, it feels GOOD to be recognized.BUT YOU KNOW THIS… so I am NOT here to tell you what you know. I’m here to HELP YOU do what you know needs to be done. And that is why I am thrilled to talk about the fundraising club program.

We have a TOOL to help you.After extensive research and analysis, your division, with support from the National business unit has found that, when implemented properly, the fundraising club program is one of the most effective methods to increase team fundraising!
