Getting Started
:
EMERGENCY USA volunteer groups areinvited to select one or more team captainsfrom their membership.Captains are asked to each recruit and lead4-5 members in a team.
Hint: up to 8-10 members per team canwork but it may work best to split thegroup if it grows beyond that
Each participant donates $25 when registering as a team member, and then they are asked toraise $100 through their own personal FirstGiving page that
will be linked to the team’s page.
To keep things very simple, each team participant will also be asked to supply, make or borrowtheir own kite.
$100 goal for each participant, Easy
“How To
”
:In order for this to be successful people who agree to participate will ask people they know tomake a donation, and $100 is an amount that is low-pressure and easy to raise.Keep in mind that as each person reaches out to contacts who might be interested insupporting their personal effort, they will be alerting and informing friends about theEMERGENCY USA cause and the compelling mission we support. This is also an important andvaluable action.Here is a link to an easy FirstGiving instruction sheet with sample wording.A sample email will
be provided and the EMERGENCY USA Development Director Eric Talberteric.talbert@emergencyusa.org will help guide team captains for success in managing theirteams. The timing of this is crucial as 90% of the funds are raised before the event takes place.
Leading Up To October 2nd:
We would like to have team
captains confirmed
by August 19th
so they can start recruitingteam mates to be ready to start
fundraising by September 6th
.Most of the Fundraising will easily be completed in advance of the actual event date.
