Don't forget to ask:

• Co-workers
• Family Members
• Friends
• Neighbors
• Members of your place of worship
• Members of your civic or community group

Invite each team member to bring a friend or two and you'll see your team grow by leaps and bounds. The team members you recruit will recruit others and before you know it you'll have a solid team to fundraise for a cure!
