Q: Who can participate in Rally Against Cancer?
A: Anyone can participate in Rally Against Cancer! You can start or join a team at your workplace or school, or join a current team online that accepts other team members if you do not belong to an organization that has a team participating in this event.
You can search for existing teams by using the "Rally Team Standings" link or "Find a Team" search box.
Q: I want to sign up for Rally Against Cancer, but don’t want to start or join a Rally Team. Is this allowed?
A: Absolutely. Just select the "Be A Free Agent" option and you will be able to sign up for Rally without joining a team.
Q: How will I be notified when someone joins my Rally team by registering online?
A: If you are a Team Coach, you can quickly review your team participants by logging in and running the "Team Donation Report."
Q: Can people outside of my workplace or school join my Rally Team?
A: Yes, anyone can join your team by logging on to rallyagainstcancer.org and selecting your team name from the teams listed on the "Find an existing Rally Team" option.
Q: Can my workplace or school have multiple Rally Teams?
A: Yes, your organization can house as many Rally teams as it wants. However, if you would like each team's fundraising to count toward the larger organization's Rally Against Cancer fundraising total, you must participate as one team. You may merge teams until March 30, 2012.
Q: How do I find my Rally Team's page online?
A:
If you need further assistance with finding your Rally team, please contact Michael DeGuglielmo or call 617-632-5420.
Q: My organization has a dress code. How can I participate?
A: There are many subtle ways to show your support for the Red Sox and the Jimmy Fund, such as:
- Distribute Rally Against Cancer bracelets to your team and encourage them to wear them to build awareness
- Display the Rally certificate of participation in your workspace or classroom
- Wear red socks, a red shirt or blouse, a red tie, or a red skirt
- Accessorize your regular attire by wearing a small Red Sox pin, Red Sox earrings, a red ribbon in your hair, or the Rally Against Cancer bracelet
- Display a Red Sox hat, shirt, or pennant in your desk area
- Work with your HR department to organize a baseball-themed gathering, featuring ballpark favorites like hot dogs, Cracker Jacks, peanuts, and popcorn
Q: My workplace already allows us to wear jeans/dress down on Fridays. How can we participate?
A: Even though Fenway Opening Day falls on a Friday this year, you can organize your own "Rally Day" on another day of the week, and ask that everyone who dresses down makes a gift to do so. Then, on Fenway Opening Day, you can host a game watch party or other celebration.
