Fall break was amazing. It was a much needed break, but now it's back to reality.
Within the week, we are kicking off our Relay For Life marketing. We really want to make this year's event memorable and successful. With a lower amount of money raised last year, I'm hoping that this year makes up for it.
Bradley's Relay is going to be March 1, 2013. It is a bit earlier than normal, we decided to switch it up so that it does not interfere with finals, projects, and greek life formals. Last year, our numbers were way down due to the event being on the same night as most of the formals, so the result was hardly any greek like participation. That HAS to change this year! They make up such a large part of the Bradley Community, and we need their help to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
The theme of the event is going to be Olympics. Now, I don't want to give away the new ideas we have to push the theme, there will always be the annual Miss Relay pageant (where guys dress as girls and raise money from the crowd). It is one of our most successful fundraisers.

This Friday, at the Bradley Homecoming Bonfire, we are going to have a table set up to tell you how you can get involved in this year's Relay. We are going to have "Bra Pong" set up for students to play as well. Make sure to stop by if you go to the bonfire!

If you guys are in any organizations, or just want to be involved with a group of friends, please let me know and we can get you signed up! It's going to be so fun, and it would be amazing if we could raise a large amount of money and be super successful my senior year! Let me know!
I do think publicity for Relay for Life last year was a little less than previous years. I thought perhaps it was because I didn't know any students participating, but maybe it was just an overall down year. Those happen. Sounds like you are doing the right things for an "up" year!
