Team Captain Corner
Our Turkey Trot Team Captains are awesome. So awesome in fact, that we want to share a few things to make the Turkey Trot experience even more memorable and impactful. Team Captains read on...
The More, The Merrier
Everyone loves to feel a part of something on Thanksgiving so why not invite more people to join you? And because copy and paste is our friend, if you prefer to email/text/post directly to your peeps, you can use this:
✂️ Hi! This Thanksgiving morning, I'm doing the Y Turkey Trot Charity 5K at [insert race location]! It will be super fun and I would love you to join my team! Here's my team link: [insert team URL]. Whoo hoo! We're going to have a blast!
Encourage Your Team to Go the Extra Mile!
Did you know that the money raised by the Turkey Trot supports the Y Open Doors fund enabling access and inclusion in healthy Y programs for all?
- $25 covers the cost of a bag of groceries for a family or individual living in food insecurity
- $65 Helps a child or adult gain confidence, learn essential water safety skills, and enjoy the many benefits of Y Swim Lessons
- $118 gives a month of a Y Membership to a family of four, taking part in Y classes and family activities.
- $357 sends a child to camp for a week, giving them safety, fun and learning while school’s out.
Propel your team to fundraising glory by sharing your team fundraising goal with them; letting them know about all the cool fundraising incentives offered and the fundraising resources available, or by asking them to share their fundraising page with their friends, family and work colleagues via email, social media, or on their fav group chat!
Upon registration, we automatically set everyone up with a fundraising page so they can log in here!
