      Hi Chrissy,

      Thanks so much for visiting CustomInk. I’m sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she feels better soon. We’ve actually put together a new blog post for electric and glow run team names, which sounds to me like the one you’re participating in. Also, I’ll email a few ideas with and without an owl theme. Give me a day or two. All the best.

      Hi everyone,

      I’m sorry for not being able to respond to your requests for team names & sayings for the past few weeks. I recently had a baby and was out on paternity leave. But I’ll follow up with each and every one of you to see if you still need names.

      Thanks for your patience!

      Hi Adam,

      Would love your help, we are a Solar Company that is doing a Warrior Dash on the 21st of this month ( I know last minute) with about 22 of our employees/family members participating. We have been procrastinating on coming up with a team name because one of our employee very unexpectedly two weeks ago found out he has cancer and has had surgery and just begun very aggressive chemotherapy. ALL of us here have been dealing with and trying to be there as much as we can for him. Being a small very close nit company we would like to dedicate this race to him and come up with a team name in his honor. Would LOVE any ideas from you… We know it would mean the world to him and his family… His name is Dwayne 🙂 Thank you so much Adam!
