Set up a corporate or group team
Click here to see a list of our volunteer fundraisers.
It's quick and easy to set up a team for your corporation, church, family or organization. If you need help, these step-by-step instructions will lead you through the process. Or, feel free to call us at (515) 265-7272.
1. Select a Team captain.
The first thing you need to do in order to set up a team is select one person to act as your team captain. This person will need to register for the walk-a-thon, create an individual page and then create the team page.
2. Team captain registration
Your team captain will go here to register for the walk-a-thon. You'll begin by creating a username and password and then you will complete a registration form. Once that is done, you will be taken to the introductory personal fundraising Web page. Just click on “Ready to Start? Click here!” Feel free to modify your own fundraising Web page as you like. (Instructions on how to create and modify your Web page are found here.)
3. Click on the "Team" icon.
On the page where you can modify your personal fundraising Web page, you'll see an icon to the right that says, "My Team." Click on that link and then select, "Create New Team." You can then give your team a name. You will also have the option to choose whether you want to password-protect your team page. By creating a password, only people you give the password to will be able to visit your page and/or join your team. Most people choose not to employ a password. It's up to your discretion.
4. Modify your team page.
Now you can modify your team page however you like! Modifying your team page is just like modifying an individual page. If you need help on this, check out No. 7 on our Step-by-Step instructions for creating your page.
5. Invite others to join your team.
As you create your team page, you will be given a specific URL address for your Team page. This is the address you will want to give to potential team members—coworkers, fellow church members, family, friends, etc. Those you invite to join your team can create their own individual fundraising Web page. They'll do this by indicating which team they'd like to join during registration. (If they forget to join your team during registration, that's okay. They can still join your team once they've created their own page.) Your team name will appear on the individual page of each of your team members. And a list of all team members will appear on the Team page, with links to each individual's page. As people join your team, any donations they receive through their individual page will also show up on your team page!
If you have friends who aren't comfortable creating their own page, but would still like to help your team, simply give them your Team page URL and tell them to pass it on to potential donors. People can give directly through your Team page.
