Why Form A Team?

Who wants to walk alone? Walking as a team is fun and a morale builder for all types of companies, schools and organizations. It's a time for enjoyment outside the work or school environment, and it's a great reason for friends and family groups to get together!

Walking/ running is also a great way to show support for a loved one fighting AIDS and a tribute to those who have been lost. Raising funds for those affected by HIV/AIDS is extremely important and easy to do as a group. You can motivate each other and challenge each other (or other teams) into a fundraising frenzy! Decide on a team theme and see if you can win the Most Creative Team Award!

How can you form an AIDS Walk/Run Team?

The first step to forming an AIDS Walk/Run team is to designate a Team Captain who will work directly with a Team Coach at AIDS Walk Headquarters.

Your Team Coach will help you with:

Next, the team captain should either:

  • register the team name online and be sure to check the "I am the team captain" box on the online registration form
  • pick up the phone and give us a call at (800) 475-2430
  • or send an email.

Once your team is registered, you will receive a team kit in the mail.

Because we know how much work you put into getting a team together, we have special incentives for team captains. Don't forget, if your team raises $1,000 or more, you will join the $500 Club.

Special Team Awards

At the AIDS Walk/Run there are special awards just for teams:

  • Top Fundraising Team - last year the top team was Wilpower with $11,777.00
  • Most Creative Team - pick a theme and dress around it to win this award. A panel of judges will be at the event to choose the winner.
  • Team with the Most Members - the 2007 AIDS Walk/Run saw two teams with over 30 people! Try to beat it!
  • Other awards go to Top Fundraising Teen AIDS Task Force Team, and more!

We want everyone to win! And don't forget that all money is used locally to help support the Adolescent Prevention Programs and Client Support Services Programs of AIDS Community Resources.
