Here are just a few examples to get you started thinking about how you can be a CHAMPION for ovarian cancer awareness:

  • 1 point per passive engagement – passive meaning no face-to-face contact

      • 1 point per platform and per post (must be made on different days)
      • Must use hashtags too
        • Use #tealdivachampion
        • Use #(your team name)
    • Place a sign(s) in yard
      • ex: race signage, symptoms signage, etc
      • You can supply or if local, Teal Diva has some while supplies last

  • For every $500 raised teams will get 1 point
    • one point for every $100 raised

    • You will get credit for every $100
    • You get 5 points for each sponsor secured 
    • Review 2023 Sponsor Info tab for the sponsor packet
  • For any person who commits to giving a minimum of $25 monthly for one year on the Teal Diva website (not the race site) and mentions your team’s name, you will receive 10 points 
  • Host a fundraiser and get extra points. Examples of Fundraisers (*can be done virtually) think outside the box, anything can be a fundraiser!
    • Garage Sale (ex: put Teal Diva sign in your yard to show what you are raising $ for)
    • Partner with local shops/restaurants for a “shop/eat for Teal Diva night”
    • Host a movie night, outdoor movie night with projector and white sheet, charge admission (ex: play a video before the movie about Teal Diva/ovarian cancer/Lowcountry 5K)

    • Latte Fundraiser-ask friends/family/coworkers to donate their coffee costs for the week 
    • Krispy Kreme Doughnut Sale
