Re-enlist veteran teams, recruit new teams, and do presentations at team meetings.

Recruit cancer survivors and caregivers to participate in the first lap of the Relay. Coordinate the survivor ceremony and reception/activities that may include a handprint wall, survivor eternal life chain, etc. Register the survivor participants and honor them with a special memento (buttons, ribbons, sashes, shirts, etc.).
