Are you ready to Walk?

Help us raise funds for research, education and advocacy for those affected by a liver disease! Then join us at the Liver Life Walk to celebrate your amazing efforts!

 

 

FORM A TEAM!

Make the Walk/Run even more fun and memorable by getting your friends and family together to form a team. Each team can create their own fundraising team page on ALF's website www.illinois-liver.org!

Team: Get your family, friends or your co-workers and form a team and join together to raise funds for the American Liver Foundation!

Dog Team: Even dogs, with a little help from their owners, can join together as a team and your dog can join the fundraising, by asking for support from doggie daycare, your local pet shop, or pet supply company!

 

WHY FORM A TEAM?

Together, your impact can be even greater! Don't just ask your friends and family to donate, ask them to particpate! Through their particiapation, you can increase your circle of friends from 10 to 50 by asking just 4 friends to join you! Isn't that worth it?

 

10 WAYS TO FORM A SUCCESSFUL TEAM!

1. Mark Your Calendar - Saturday, October 18, 2008, 9:30 a.m.

2. Get Team Information by calling the Chapter Office at (312) 377-9030 ext. 15.

3. Be a Team Captain. Manage and motivate your team in hopes of winning various awards such as Tons of Toes or Spectacular Feet. Create your Team's online fundraising Web page.

4. Ask people to join you. Recruit team members by asking your friends, family, neighbors, business associates, and service or student organizations to which you belong to join your team.

5. Name your Team. Get your team involved in choosing a name. Walk or run in honor of a loved one or get funky and show your creative side. You’ll be sure to stand out amongst the crowd.

6. Check with your employer. Ask your employer or service organization’s HR Dept. to put you in their newsletter, post a notice or even include your team in e-mail updates. Be sure to ask about your Matching Gift program.

7. Create team spirit. Friendly competition along with the common goals of winning an award and helping in the fight against liver diseases, encourage team members to recruit additional members and to sign up as many pledges as they can.

8. Set goals. Be realistic about the number of team members you hope to recruit and the team pledge goal you hope to raise.

9. Share your enthusiasm. Organize team meetings to keep your team motivated and informed of the team’s fundraising progress.

10. Be creative. Recruit team members by setting up an information table at your employer or organization during lunchtime. Organize fun and clever fundraising events such as a dog wash or ask your employer for a “Pay for a Casual Dress Day”.
