Be a Team Captain
Team captains are the driving force of the Parkway Run & Walk! When you become a team captain, you become the inspiration for your team of superheroes fighting to end childhood cancer. You’ll have a few responsibilities that a leader like you is ready to conquer!
What does a team captain do?
After signing up as a team captain, you will:
- Customize your team page
- Recruit team members by encouraging family, friends and colleagues to join your team. (Team members can also recruit, so it’s not all up to you!)
- Motivate your team to fundraise by sending encouraging messages and updates via your team page and/or our donor drive app
- Share event details with your team, such as where to meet on event day or what your team will be wearing
Get a team tent on the event day!
Teams that recruit 100+ team members or raise $10,000+ will be provided with a tent on the day of the event. A team tent is a centrally located meeting area for your team. The tent will have a banner with your team’s name. We also deliver event shirts and race bibs right to the tent, which allows for all pre-registered team members to avoid any lines on race day. If a team recruits 125+ team members, we will also provide doughnuts! The deadline to receive a team tent is Friday, Sept. 13.
Some team captains go above and beyond! Ideas for what you can do as a team captain include:
- Create team T-shirts using our fundraising partner Bonfire!
- Organize a team fundraising event
- Encourage team members to start a Facebook Fundraiser
- Create your own incentives for reaching fundraising milestones. Examples include:
- If we raise $5,000, I’ll learn a Tik Tok dance!
- If we raise $10,000, I’ll take an ice bath!
