I'm a Team in Training coach, and something like this happened with a ride group I coached a few years back. There were five friends who all worked together in an office. Everyone committed to raise money and share the proceeds evenly toward their fundraising. 2 of them (husband and wife) raised a lot of money, but the other 3 totally slacked and did NOTHING. So poor husband and wife had to share all their money they had raised - and make up some of the shortfall as well, because they did not raise enough for 5 people! Needless to say, there was a lot of resentment.
You guys need to start talking now about contingencies if there's a shortfall in the fundraising goal. People who have raised money should not have to contribute out of posket to make up for the slackers' shortfalls.
Good job on your fundraising!
