Team Up for More Fun!
It only takes one person to inspire hundreds -- that's the power behind being a Team Captain. As a Team Captain for the Charleston Challenge, you become a leader in a powerful movement towards a world free of MS.
If you’re a Team Captain, thinking about being a Team Captain or know someone who would make a great Team Captain, this section provides the answers to all your questions. We are committed to you and the success of your team.
A team is made up of two or more walkers but can also include crew members. Each team member that is registered as a walker is required to raise the $1,500 pledge minimum.
Forming a Charleston Challenge team is an opportunity to conquer a challenge and share a great experience with friends, family members or co-workers.
As a part of the MS movement, you and your team are committed to a world free of MS. We’re committed to you and the success of your team. Here are three simple steps to starting a team.
1. Recruiting
Team members can be anybody— friends, family, co-workers, or neighbors — and they can all easily register online. Whether you’re a corporate team or a team of family and friends, just be sure to ask everyone you know.
2. Raising Money
Fundraising comes more naturally when you make it personal. If your team is walking for someone with MS, ask them if they would be willing to tell their story. Just be sure to follow that with a statement about how much progress we’ve made in treating the disease. Don’t forget to ask everyone who sponsors you if their employer offers matching gifts!
3. Really Having Fun!
Being a team captain is an opportunity to share a great experience with friends and family members, or co-workers— a community coming together for a common goal and the accomplishment of a unique personal challenge! As a leader, it’s up to you to remind your teammates of why they registered. The Charleston Challenge can be more than a fundraising event —it can be a joyous celebration of how far we’ve come together!
One of the benefits of a walking on a team is being able to fundraise together. Learn how to get an early start and lead your team to fundraising success!
