Registering Your Team | Motivating Your Team | Recruiting Tips and Tricks
A team is any group of coworkers, fellow students, religious/civic organization members, friends, or family members that pre-register, raise money and walk and/or run together on the day of Palm Springs AIDS Walk & Run Saturday, October 23, 2010 Any team that registers 15 or more walkers by October 9, 2010 qualifies for a Team Meeting Station at Palm Springs AIDS Walk & Run.
Forming an AIDS Walk and/or Run Team is a powerful morale builder for all types of companies, schools, and organizations. Palm Springs AIDS Walk & Run is a time for meaningful relationship-building outside of the work or school environment; a great reason for friends and family groups to get together; a way to show support for those fighting HIV/AIDS; and a chance to walk or run in memory of loved ones.
What are a Team Captain's Responsibilities?
A Team Captain’s role is to recruit, inspire, and motivate people to register as well as raise funds. In order to promote team participation, a Team Captain's first task is to distribute Palm Springs AIDS Walk & Run registration information to all potential walkers and/or runners as quickly as possible. After walkers and runners begin to register, following up is essential to maximizing funds raised for the clients of Desert AIDS Project.
