The word TEAM means different things to different people. Maybe for you it means belonging to a group. Or, maybe it means being a part of something bigger than yourself. For the teams that participate in Sherry’s Run, it is all of this and so much more! When you form or join a team to participate in this annual event, you give HOPE to your neighbors fighting cancer and their families.

Sherry’s Run would not be what it is without our wonderful teams. “Being a part of a team is a great way to make a difference in our community.  Even though the actual event lasts only a couple of hours, the spirit of hope lasts all year long.”, says Ashlee Chance, Sherry’s Run Teams Committee Chair. Her team of volunteers is here to help make your team of runners/walkers more successful.

If you think you might want to form a team to help Give Hope, come find out more at our Spirit Nights scheduled for: Tuesday, July 24, Tuesday, August 7, Tuesday, August 21 and Tuesday, September 4^th – all from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. (come and go) at the Sherry’s Run office (located at 110 Babb Drive, Lebanon TN). Registration forms will be available for those who are unable to register online.  We will also hand out posters and be available to answer any questions you might have about organizing your team.

If you are unable to attend a Spirit Night and need more information about teams, you may contact Ashlee Chance at teams@sherrysrun.org or call 615-476-3844.

Chance adds, “I am so moved each year seeing the passion shown by our teams as they participate because of someone special in their lives. I can promise that you will not regret the decision to be a part of a team – it changes you for the better!” Team captains may register their team name online at www.sherrysrun.org. Your team members will be able to simply pick your team name from a drop down menu. As soon as a team member registers, an e-mail will be sent to you.

Team T-Shirt Competition Tradition Continues

Our t-shirt competition has been a highlight of this event for several years and is a great way to bring your team together. Again, all teams will have an opportunity to showcase their creativity by creating a unique design on your team’s t-shirt and entering it in the Team T-shirt Contest. The t-shirts will be on display at the event site for everyone to see and the winning team will be announced at the event. Remember, the winner is chosen based on donations made at the event site, so be sure to remind your friends, family and co-workers to “vote” for your t-shirt.   Visit www.sherrysrun.org/the-race/teams for more information.
