Relay Bucks are incentive awards issued to qualifying teams. Once a team has met their $100/pp average they are in a position to have any relay bucks they have earned included in their overall calculation, which determines site allocation. Relay bucks do not count towards individual incentive awards. So how can you earn relay bucks?
Meetings
At each monthly meeting, one team is eligible to win relay bucks based on the criteria for that meeting, e.g. full team, team with most 1K members, team with greatest amount of emails sent, etc. Need to be at the meeting in order to receive.
Luminaria
For every 50 Luminaria sold by a team, that team will receive $500 Relay Bucks.
Auction
Once again this year we will be offering relay bucks to a team when they donate an item to the online auction and that item sells. The donated item must be valued at $50 or more. At the close of the auction, the final bid (sold) amount for your donated item will be added to your teams overall total. For every five items a team contributes, $250 bonus relay bucks will be given in addition to the closing sale value.
Sponsorship
Your team is encouraged to solicit corporate sponsors. If a team signs a sponsor, they will receive the value of the sponsorship in relay bucks. If it is a returning sponsor, then the team will receive 50% of the value.
Remember, in order to have relay bucks included in your site incentive calculation, your team must first qualify by having a minimum of 8 participants and an average of $100 per participant.

The registration fee is $10.00 and must be paid on-line. This is an administration fee and is separate from the donations that can also be made on-line. Please be careful that if you are making a donation when you are filling out the registration form you need to remember to separate the registration fee from the donation.

Chaperones are required for all youth participants. “Chaperone Agreement” forms need to be signed and turned in by Bank Night. The required ratio is 1 Chaperone for every 5 youths. (1-5 youth = I Chaperone, 6-10 youth = 2 Chaperones, 11-15 youths = 3 Chaperones, etc.)
