Not at all. Once you have registered as a team captain, the local chapter will provide you with all the materials, guidance and motivation you need to form a successful team.
Team Captains are the liaison between team members and the local chapters. They are responsible for recruiting and motivating other team members to participate and raise funds for the Walk.
Teams account for about 80% of the monies raised in walks. They represent companies, organizations, families, schools and clubs, and can range from as few as five walkers to hundreds. Forming teams is a great way to build company morale and camaraderie among co-workers. Families and friends can join together to walk for a common cause and increase community spirit.
Please contact your local chapter to order additional materials to make your fundraising a success.
Matching gifts are a great way to increase donations. Check to see if your company will match employee contributions and encourage your donors to do the same. To take part in a matching gifts program, request an application from the benefits manager or human resources department. Then send the completed form to your local chapter. They will verify receipt of your gift and complete the process.
Funds raised online are automatically directed to your local chapter. For funds raised offline, please use the walker collection envelope to turn in money at the walk or prior to the walk at a bank day. Funds can also be turned in to the local chapter throughout the year.
100% of every dollar raised directly support your local chapter's advocacy, education and research initiatives.
Checks should be made payable to your local chapter. If the check is on behalf of an individual participating or fundraising for the walk, please indicate his/her name in the Memo area.
