Understanding the Commitment Process
Why do I need
to fill this out?
When you registered for Team In Training, you
committed to raising lifesaving funds in return for your participation
in the Maine Lighthouse Ride event weekend. Your
commitment response will let your chapter staff know your decision to complete
or drop from the season. If you choose to continue the season, you are pledging
to LLS to meet your fundraising commitment and participate in your event.
After you submit your commitment and reservations, your chapter staff person will begin to confirm your event weekend arrangements.
What is my
fundraising commitment?
Fundraising levels vary depending on team benefits selected such no bike shipping and no hotel option. Fundraising commitment levels are available with the bike shipping and hotel options listed below. If you would like to change your fundraising commitment level, please contact Liz Spaide at elizabeth.spaide@lls.org with your preferred commitment level before completing the commitment form.
NOTE: Hotel inventory is tight for this event. If you are currently at a "no hotel" fundraising commitment level and would like to switch to a level that includes hotel, you will be placed on our hotel wait list. Once commitment is closed, we will review our room block to see if we can accommodate those teammates who would like to add hotel to their fundraising benefits.
Placement on the "wait list" is first come first served.
Fundraising Commitment Options:
- No Bike Shipping/No Hotel
- Yes Bike Shipping/No Hotel
- No Bike Shipping/Two-Night Hotel stay shared with a Team In Training roommate
- Yes Bike Shipping/Two-Night Hotel stay shared with a Team In Training roommate
- No Bike Shipping/Three-Night Hotel stay shared with a Team In Training roommate
- Yes Bike Shipping/Three-Night Hotel stay shared with a Team In Training roommate
All fundraising commitment levels also include:
- Guaranteed entry to the Maine Lighthouse Ride
- One complimentary ticket to Inspiration Dinner
- Event Day Team In Training cycle jersey
What is the Final Fundraising Deadline?
This is the date that your personal Team In Training fundraising account must contain, at a minimum, the fundraising commitment amount you selected and confirmed during commitment. For the Maine Lighthouse Ride, the Final Fundraising deadline is Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2017
What if I can no longer participate with Team In Training?
If
you are unable to commit, there will be a link in the invitation email for you
to click on. This will let us know you’ll be discontinuing your participation
this season and will save you from receiving reminder emails and calls in the
future.
What if I commit to Team In Training and want to drop later?
If you drop from the Team In Training program after commitment for any reason other than injury, deployment, or pregnancy, you are still responsible for your full fundraising commitment. If you drop from the program due to injury, deployment, or pregnancy, a doctor's note or copy of military orders must be submitted to drop or be allowed transfer to a future Team In Training event (within one calendar year). In addition, 25% of your fundraising commitment must remain in your current event account.

Team In Training will secure your ride entry for you.
What is
an Inspiration Dinner? When is it?
The Inspiration Dinner is a time
for your teammates, coaches, mentors, honored teammates, and staff to come
together and celebrate all that you have accomplished this season.
Inspiration Dinner will be Friday, September 8th at 5:30 p.m. at the:
Eastland Grand Ballroom
Portland, ME 04101
All fundraising participants receive one complimentary ticket. When completing event weekend reservations, you can choose to purchase additional tickets. Guest tickets are $60.00/each. Children ages 3 and under (sitting in an adults lap) are free. You will be required to pay for these tickets when submitting your event weekend reservations.
Where are
we staying?
If your fundraising commitment level includes a hotel stay, we will be staying at:
157 High Street
As a TNT participant, your
fundraising covers half the room rate.
· No Room Needed: You will need to make your own reservations for the event weekend.
· Own Room: You do not wish to share your room with another Team In Training participant since you would like your own room and/or are bringing guests. You will be responsible for paying half the room rate per night at the end of the reservation process.
· Will you be sharing your room with any guests? If yes, you will be asked to provide the names of your guests. Please note, the hotel will assess additional fees for triple and quadruple occupancy.
· Team In Training Roommate: If you and another Team In Training participant would like to be paired as roommates, you BOTH must enter the other
person in the roommate question in order for the system to pair you.
Please make sure ahead of time that your desired roommate knows to put your name and chapter down.
If you would like to be assigned a roommate, leave the roommate field blank and Team In Training will match you with another person of the same gender who also indicated they would like a Team In Training roommate.
Payment and Making Changes to Your Reservations
How do I pay
for additional items I ordered?
If you choose to purchase guest tickets
to the Inspiration Dinner and/or had hotel fees, you will be required to submit
your credit card information. When you submit your reservations, the
system will then charge your credit card for the items purchased.
What happens
after I complete the Commitment and Event Weekend Form?
After you submit your Commitment
and Event Weekend Form, you will receive a confirmation email
with your event weekend reservations and commitment
response. Please review and save this email as it also contains
instructions for logging back into the system should you need to make changes
to your reservations.
