Being a Team Captain
The primary role of a team captain is to promote the Scotiabank AIDS WALK for LIFE within your group and to recruit as many fundraisers/walkers as possible. Depending on the size of your organization, workplace or family, you may want to establish a Scotiabank AIDS WALK for LIFE Team Committee to help you accomplish your goals.
Here are some steps to get you going right away:
- Establish team goals like the number of participants and the total number of dollars that you would like to collect.
- Set up a team website
- Download the Team Captain’s Toolkit (PDF 3.3MB)
- Recruit team members.
- Educate your team. Visit our website at http://www.bcpwa.org to find additional information about HIV and AIDS. Or, invite Shannon, our WALK Fundraising Coordinator, to come down to your office and give a presentation.
- Ensure there are regular updates within your team. Start by sending an email every two weeks.
- Organize fundraising activities at work.
