Team Captain Corner

At the center of every great team is the team captain. As team captain, you have taken on the extremely meaningful job of recruiting walkers and managing your team's fundraising efforts to help fund lifesaving cancer research.

To make the job as team captain easier, walker registration and fundraising can all be handled online. When you register, you will have access to great fundraising tips, ideas, and samples, and be able to create a team efundraising page.

Team captain responsibilities include:

• Managing the process (for example: setting goals, recruiting co-captains and enlisting senior level support at your company)
• Recruiting co-workers, friends & family members to join the team and raise funds. LLS will provide you with materials and information to assist you with recruitment and developing a fundraising plan
• Building and maintaining momentum, team enthusiasm and spirit up to and during the Walk
• Collecting money and ensuring it gets to your chapter representatives
• Celebrating your team's success at the Walk and thanking the appropriate people after the event

As a team captain, you can make a difference to the thousands of people whose lives are touched by blood cancers. The funds raised by your team will be invested in critical research and patient services.
