Form a Team

Follow These Steps to Form a Team:

1. Register
Register your Walk team by visiting our secure-server partner, Active Giving. There you’ll find registration forms and instructions.

• Click here to register your team for the 2008 Walk

2. View and print our Team Leader Kits
The Kits offer tips on finding sponsors, describe how the funds raised are distributed to emergency feeding programs, provide testimonials from groups and individuals who walked in past years, include important deadlines, and list additional materials available to make your job as a leader even easier.

3. Remember your team number
When you register your team through the Active Giving site, you will receive your 2008 team number. This number identifies your group and will be used to track your pledges as well as identify your team’s gathering area on Walk morning. Signs posted at the Eakins Oval, just across from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, will indicate where your team’s members should meet one another prior to kick-off.

• Review maps and directions to the Museum area

4. Collect Contributions
Each walker on your team should use the Contribution Form to record the names of sponsors and their contribution amounts. Printed Walk brochures, which include the Contribution Form, can be mailed to you or you can print them from the link below.

5. Enter the Walk Raffle
Encourage team members to describe the great raffle prizes to their contributors. Remember, any individual contributor giving $25 or more is eligible. Any walker who collects $100 or more in contributions is also eligible.

6. Set a team fundraising goal
For example, a team hoping to raise $1,500 might challenge ten walkers to raise $150 each. Each of those ten might decide to find twenty sponsors who would contribute $5, and another five sponsors who would contribute $10 each. Here’s the arithmetic: 20 x $5 = $100, plus 5 x $10 = $50. In this way, each walker is only responsible for finding twenty-five sponsors, and ten walkers can meet that $1,500 goal. Think about how easy it is to spend $5 on a little something—a fast food lunch, a few slick magazines, a couple of those gourmet coffees. Surely you can convince your friends to come up with a $5 contribution to help fight hunger.

Remind people that the Walk Against Hunger raises funds that help feed families when they have nowhere else to turn.
