Creating a team with family, friends and colleagues is a great way to multiply your fundraising impact by utilizing each team member’s personal contacts. A team consists of four or more people.
HOW DO I SIGN MY TEAM UP?
Choose a team name
Confer with your team and create a fun name – eg.“Friends of Jimmy,” “Bill's Buddies”.
Set fundraising goals for your team
Our statistics show that the average team of 8 raised $1800 in 2011; however, only 4 people on each team actually raised funds! The four who did raise funds averaged $450 each. Wouldn’t it be great if you set a goal for 100% of team members to actually raise funds – then decide what the average per walker raised would be, multiply it by the number of team members and set it as your team goal.
Select a team captain
He/She will register themselves first and then create your team online at www.walkforals.ca/ontario. Please note that the website will be open on March 1, 2012.
Other team members join online
Once the team captain has created the team online, other members can register individually and join the team. Please note that each team member must register themselves and accept the electronic waiver. If you are a parent registering children, there is an option to have them show up as “anonymous” on the website team list to protect their privacy.
Please note that you can also download a team captain’s package from the website if you wish to manually track your team offline, however when you use the website you allow us to direct more funds directly to services, as we save on administrative costs.
For detailed instructions, please refer to the “How to tips’ located at the top of the home page of www.walkforals.ca/ontario
Team Captain Duties:
• Create the team online and send out invites for others to join.
• Keep a walk team roster of everyone who has signed up on the team using the team roster form or online at www.walkforals.ca/ontario. Communicate regularly with team members by email, phone, newsletter, etc. This will keep everyone updated on the progress of the team toward the fundraising goal.
• Ensure everyone brings their offline donations and pledge form to the walk – with the team name clearly indicated at the top of each pledge form.
• Track how much each team member has raised – both online and offline so you know your grand total when it’s time to celebrate your success.
