A team consists of a captain and a minimum of three additional team members. A team may have more than one captain, which is a great way to share responsibilities. Corporate teams are classified as Division A (1-99 employees), Division AA (100-499 employees), Division AAA (500+ employees). Community teams are classified as church groups, non-profits, or groups of families and friends. Monies raised by individuals on a team combine to make that team's fundraising total.
