CC Dublin Marathon 2009 Team Members Schedule for

Minimum Fundraising Goal for CC Team Minnesota: $3000*

The following outline of CC Fundraising Turn-in Scheduled Dates and Incentives is based on the anticipated dates of necessary CC commitments and CC payments to our traveling teams’ service vendors (destination event entry fees, airlines, hotels, ground transportation, etc.).

The general rule is that as long as a CC Ambassador has turned in fundraising that is at least twice the amount sufficient to cover their individual share of Traveling Team costs as they come due to CC, CC can then afford to and will pay those travel costs as they are due.

If any CC Ambassador’s fundraising doesn’t quite meet the goal dates listed below, the CC Ambassador will be asked to cover only the CC costs for those travel expenses as they come due as a Traveling Team member expenses pre-payment to CC.

CC will reimburse any CC Traveling Team Ambassador’s travel expense pre-payments to CC once the fundraising is turned in to CC, even if that fundraising comes in to CC after the goal destination event.
