The National Broadcast Celebration will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 7 PM ET/ 6PM CT.
You will receive a link via email and social to join the event.
Where will the event be located?
On September 26, kick off the day with an activity YOU CHOOSE. Run, walk, ride, skip, jump -- whatever gets you moving safely in your local neighborhood. Then watch our online National Broadcast Celebration featuring stories and celebrating the accomplishments of our Teal community.
Why is the NOCC Together in TEAL® Run/Walk going to a National Broadcast Celebration?
Our communities and our world look very different today, and the pandemic’s unpredictable impact has caused us to change course for our events. While our traditional Together in TEAL® Run/Walk events are not able to take place in the interest of safety and public health, that doesn’t mean our community needs to be isolated.
NOCC is launching a new, nationwide campaign and event that will enable our community to unite from coast-to-coast, including places we’ve never been able to reach.
Why do my team members have to register?
Anyone planning to participate needs to register. Every team member must be registered to participate. All registered team members that raise a minimum of $100 will receive an event t-shirt.
This year to receive a Participant T-Shirt you will need to raise or donate $100. (Survivors will receive their Survivor T-Shirt when they register for their event.
The TEAL community can unite to save more lives and help the NOCC deliver on its four pillars of progress: Earlier Awareness, Quality of Life, Research and Community Outreach. Part of uniting means raising funds to keep all of our programing moving forward, including our COVID Survivor Relief Fund that is needed to help Survivors in treatment across the country.
Do you require Fundraising?
We do encourage all participants to fundraise above the registration fee. This event is about going from awareness to taking action in your community. Just imagine the impact – if every participant raises only $100 (in addition to their registration fee), we will bring in an additional dollars to support local Awareness and Education, Survivor Quality of Life, Research and Community Outreach!
What is a Top Fundraiser (VIP)?
Top Fundraisers and or VIP’s are all individuals who have raised $1,000+ or more by, Saturday, September 19th.
Is there a deadline for fundraising?
All donations on your behalf that are received by Saturday, September 19th, will be credited to your fundraising total to be deemed a "Top Fundraiser" but donations can still be collected until October 31, 2020.
There are several levels of fundraising you can achieve as an individual or team. Please click this link for more details.
