Forming A Team

Raising critically needed funds for those affected by HIV and AIDS is extremely important and easy to do as a group; 62% of the money raised for AIDS Arms LifeWalk comes from pledges collected by teams. Forming a LifeWalk team is fun and promotes fellowship. It's a time for social interaction outside of a structured environment and it's a great way for friends and group members to bond. Teams motivate and challenge each other (or other teams) into a fundraising whirlwind and are great exposure for your organization. Plus, we award fantastic prizes for the top fundraising teams. To start a team simply:

Select a team name and designate a captain or co-captains
Register and download a Team Captain Handbook (click here to download the 2011 Team Captain Handbook)
Set a financial goal. Our goal is for each team to raise at least $500
Create a team webpage through the LifeWalk registration web site
Recruit Walkers by informing everyone in your company, organization(s) and school about the team and how they can get involved. (Click here for ways to fundraise for your team). Aim for a minimum 10 team members.
Motivate teammates to collect pledges. (Download a pledge form.)
Invite coworkers, customers and vendors to support your team.
Attempt to collect donations when your donors sign your pledge form or shortly thereafter or have them visit your personal Blackbaud web page. Checks should be made payable to "AIDS Arms LifeWalk". Have your donors note your team name on the memo line.

Team Captains

Our Team Captains are among the most important contributors to LifeWalk. They fill an important leadership role that is an integral part of our event success. The responsibilities can be challenging, but they pale in comparison to the many rewards.
