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.

What is a Team Captain?

A team captain gathers together friends, family, and co-workers. Each team captain helps guide their team members, from online registration, to setting and achieving their fundraising goal, to seeing them through to the finish line. Being a team captain is a fun and rewarding experience. Are you ready to make Every Step Count?
