What is a Team?

A team is a Group of 10 or more participants who register under a common team name.  Any company, family, group of friends, club, community organization, school, or faith group can form  a team.

Team captains recruit team members for your team, encourage team participation and fundraising, and organize events for your team.  You help your team members have the tools they need to recruit more team members, as well as raise their own donations.  If this is your first time being a team captain here are a few pointers to get you started:  [Team Captain Responsibilities]

 1. Register your team (even if team members register using paper forms, register you team name online).

2.  Register yourself as a team member.
