As a team captain, what are my responsibilities?

• Recruit team members. The average team includes 10 members, but there is no minimum number needed to form a team. Spread the word by asking members of your company, organization, family and within your network of friends.
• Set team goals and inspire walkers to raise a minimum of $200 per person.
• Report your team's progress to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
• Collect all team members' sponsor envelopes and submit the money to the Society prior to the event.
• Keep team members engaged and motivated with weekly updates, memos or emails.

How do I recruit team members?

• An informal Light The Night^® Walk awareness meeting can be held by Light The Night staff with members of your company, organization or group.
• Spread the word about the event and periodically announce team progress.
• Hang up signs and posters in your company work room.
• Encourage co-workers and other group members to register their family and friends.

What are some ways for our team to fundraise?

• If your company provides corporate matching funds, include this information in all of your materials or presentations.  Ask your company to match what your team raises.
• Encourage team participation by creating your own Light The Night T-shirts featuring your company logo.
• Recognize top performers with an incentives lunch at a local hot spot with teammates.
• Place a collection jar in a common area for spare change contributions in support of your Light The Night team.
• Encourage friendly competition.  Have the different departments within your company to compete in raising funds for your Light The Night team.  Or challenge another company or organization to be the top fundraising team.
