Ten Ways To Form a Successful Team
Start by marking Your Calendar for Saturday, August 15 2009
Get Team Information by calling the Chapter Office at (303) 988-4388.
Be a Team Captain. Register your Team and create your Team's online fundraising web page.
Name your Team. Get your team involved in choosing a name. Walk or run in honor of a loved one or get funky and show your creative side. You’ll be sure to stand out amongst the crowd.
Invite people to join you. Recruit team members by asking your friends, family, neighbors, business associates, and service or student organizations to which you belong to join your team.
Check with your employer. Ask your employer or service organization’s HR Department to put you in their newsletter, post a notice or even include your team in e-mail updates. Be sure to ask about your company's Matching Gift program too!
Create team spirit. Combine friendly competition along with the common goals of winning an award and helping in the fight against liver diseases to encourage team members to recruit additional members and to sign up as many pledges as they can.
Set goals. Be realistic about the number of team members you hope to recruit and the team pledge goal you hope to raise. On average, each participant raises about $150. Remember, each participant that raises $100 or more will get a free Liver Life Walk t-shirt!
Share your enthusiasm. Organize team activities to keep your team motivated and informed of the team’s fundraising progress and get team members excited with some personalized team t-shirts.
Be creative. Recruit team members by setting up an information table at your employer or organization during lunchtime. Organize fun and clever fundraising events such as a dog wash or ask your employer for a "Pay for a Casual Dress Day".
