Tips on Forming a Team

1. Choose a Team Captain
The team captain is the motivator and organizer of the team and serves as the contact person with Donate Life   Run/Walk Team Liaison. The captain is responsible for relaying information to the team and motivating them to do their best.

2. Starting a Team
Sign onto Donateliferunwalk.org and click on Register which will connect to Active.com. Once on Active, register as a team captain and name your team.

By registering your team on-line, all donations and individual team member registrations are collected and updated through the website. It will take 90% of the work out of your hands! (If you prefer not to register on-line, please refer to the FAQ page)

3. Recruit
Set a goal to recruit at least 10 members for your team. Send your team name and Active website link to family, friends, and co-workers and ask them to join your team.

(For teams of 25 or more that register on-line by April 16th, special team incentives are offered)

4. Promote
Set up a Team Fundraising Page at www.activegiving.com and invite family, friends, and co- workers to make an online donation if they are unable to join the team.

5. Have FUN!
Support your team with an enthusiastic attitude….it’s contagious. Cheer your team to meet or exceed – their goal.
