How to Build a Fundraising Team?

• Follow the prompts to enter information about your team -- this includes a name and your team's goal!

Fundraising Teams are meant for participants who want to raise money while also participating in our EVENT. These teams focus on fundraising and typically have a fundraising goal that each member is encouraged to help reach. Members of a fundraising team will have first set up their own individual fundraising pages to collect donations from friends, family, and colleagues -- and all of these efforts count towards the goal of team!  Aim high!
