Team Captains
Team Captains:
You've got your team and your sneakers ready to go. Now what? GET YOUR TEAM MOVING! Below, please find some quick tips to help motivate your team and get everyone excited for the Cancer Challenge!
- Set a Team Goal. Setting a team goal is the first step to success and helps get everyone rallied around a common purpose. Make sure that everyone on your team knows what the team goal is and how they can contribute to helping achieve it.
- Encourage team members to be Super Champion fundraisers. Make sure your team members know the benefits of being Super Champion fundraisers. Set that goal together, and then meet up in the Super Champions tent on the day of the Challenge and celebrate your accomplishments with food, drinks and post Challenge relaxation.
- Send emails to your team. This not only helps you track how your teammates are doing on their fundraising goals but you can also share encouragement, news and plan fundraising events to help your team reach (or exceed) your goal.
- Gather as a group. Go for training runs/walks or have team fundraising events. Meeting in person helps everyone stay motivated and gives you a chance to share creative new ideas for raising funds and having fun at the Challenge.
- Get social. Encourage your teammates to post updates and ask for support on Facebook and other social media sites. Be sure they're sharing statuses and raising awareness of team fundraising activities!
