Teams offer great opportunities to build corporate team spirit and morale, increase your company's visibility within the community, gather friends and family together all while having fun!
The Miles for Myeloma 5k is about supporting each other so why not form a team? Share a fun, active day with friends, family and co-workers. It's a great way to pool your fundraising resources to raise even more money.
It's easy to form a team:
Each team member must register individually under the team name.
The top fundraising team will receive special recognition at the awards ceremony on April 25, 2009.
Pick a team captian and team name.
Create your team fundraising page and set a fundraising goal
Recruit, recruit, recruit. There is no limit to how many team members you can have and no limit to how much money your team can raise! Ask your family, friends and co-workers to join in on the fun.
E-mail or snailmail everyone you know and tell your story as to why you are walking/running. Ask for their assistance by making a donation in support of your efforts. Don't forget to add the link to your online team page if you are registered under Active.com
Make sure all of your supportors write your team name on their checks if you are recruiting pledges via a pledge form or mail. Make checks payable to PMMNG-5k
Set a time for your team to meet at the event so you can get a team photo.
Make it fun by doing team t-shirts, wearing silly hats and making team signs
