Family Teams

Step 1: Choose a Team Captain

• Identify a team member who is highly motivated.
• Choose a team name.
• Register the Team Captain first here

Step 2: Set Goals

• Set your team goal. A good benchmark to use is setting a suggested minimum fundraising amount of $100 per walker on your team.
• Work with the Walk staff to help set your team goals.

Step 3: Recruit Walkers

Invite walkers to join your team through the website. Who will you ask to join your team? Consider the following:

• Family and friends.
• Co-workers and neighbours.
• Personal Support Worker/Long Term Care facility staff.

Step 4: Motivate your Team

A motivated team will help you reach your team goal.

• Communicate regularly with your team.
• Encourage them to fundraise early to avoid last minute work.
• Brainstorm together and think of fun ways to raise more money.

Step 5: Raise Money

• Reach out on your social media such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, etc. (be sure to use our hashtag #WalkForMemories), with a personalized ask or by creating a video and posting it on YouTube. With these tools you can reach a broad audience with minimal effort.

Step 6: Attend the Carswell Family Night

Step 8: Post Walk
