Team Formation
Walk For Wellness, Food Justice and Health in Our Communities When registering for the walkathon, you have the option of registering with a team. The size of a team can range anywhere from 2-40 members. Often, sports teams, extracurricular groups, parent groups, or friends will choose to register together as a team. To register a team for the walk-a-thon, please email Walk@GreenStarCommunityProjects.org with the name of the team you would like to register. Shortly after you will receive a response informing you that your team has been added to the online registration form. At this point people wishing to register online as a walker on your team can do so by selecting your team name from the drop-down menu. You can also register a group of people as a team by emailing Walk@GreenStarCommunityProjects.org with the names, email addresses and t-shirt sizes of all team members. Online registration, pledge forms and other resources for walkers can be found here.Creating a team
- Register yourself and try to get several other people to register with you before you announce you have a team. The fact that you can say you already have some people signed up will probably get people excited and they'll want to join in on the fun.
- Create a name for your team. Ask teammates for their input to get a great name for your team. Email Walk@GreenStarCommunityProjects.org with the name of your team and any existing members.
- Set a team fund-raising goal. Have a chart where everyone can see it, or send out e-mail updates on everyone's progress.
- Encourage friendly challenges between people to reach fund-raising goals. If you are doing this as a family, it could be adults vs. children; a corporate team could be department vs. department.
- Arrange some prizes for targets reached. Have some of the prizes be not just for fund-raising goals, but for efforts being made. Examples of things to reward could be for sending out the most letters or emails to try to raise funds, or making the most telephone calls.
- Create some weekly or bi-weekly walking dates where everyone can get together and take a walk. This is great exercise and will get everyone in shape to do the walk.
