When asking people to join your team, you want to make it as easy as possible for them. That includes giving them the why. Why should they support this cause? And why should they join your team? Below is a template letter you can send to potential team members that outlines why they should support this cause and why they should join your team.

We ask all teams to have a minimum of 5 members and a maximum 8 members so that all participants are able to participate in all the games. Thank you for being a team leader and supporting our efforts to improve access to lifesaving marrow transplants!

​Below is a sample letter for you to use.
​
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email Jo Ellen at jearagon@a3mhope.org.

For Team Member Recruitment

Dear [NAME OF POTENTIAL TEAM MEMBER],

Every year, more than 12,000 patients are diagnosed with life threatening blood cancers, like leukemia and lymphoma. It can happen to anyone, at any time. But so can a cure—a marrow or stem cell transplant. Please help patients remove obstacles to lifesaving marrow transplants by joining my team in Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches (A3M)’s Super Duper Swabstacle Challenge, an obstacle course fundraiser held on Saturday, June 2nd at the Los Angeles State Historic Park from 9:30am - 2:00pm.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will support A3M’s mission to grow and diversify the marrow donor registry and significantly increase a patient’s chance of finding a marrow donor and getting a transplant.

To join my team, please go to my team’s campaign page by clicking here [LINK TO YOUR TEAM’S CAMPAIGN PAGE]. Feel free to share my campaign on Facebook and Twitter, too!

Thank you for your support. Together we can remove obstacles to marrow transplants and cure blood related diseases! #ReadySetSwab
