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 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 a First Frost AIDS Walk Team?

The first step to forming an AIDS Walk team is to designate a Team Captain who will work directly with the Team Coordinator in AIDS Walk Headquarters.

Your Team Coordinator 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 First Frost AIDS Walk there are special awards just for teams:

  • Top Fundraising Team - last year the top team was Friends of Carmen with $8,396.00!
  • 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. Last year's winning team was Watertown High School TATF who dressed in drag and whose team theme was "AIDS is a Drag".
  • Team with the Most Members
  • 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.
