O Captain, my Captain! Being a team captain is easy!
Team captains recruit people to run or walk together, set a team fundraising goal and communicate with their team members. Easy! You can come up with a super cool name for your team and then be at the park a little early to pick up your team sign and meet up with your teammates.
On the registration form, just indicate that you are the team captain and list the team name (if you know it). You can share the Hope Run registration link and event donation link with your social networks to invite people to join you.
Ideally, teams will run/walk together on the 10th and will also fundraise together.
To create a team to run/walk together, REGISTER as a runner or walker and mark the Team Captain box on the registration form. You will also come up with a team name here (this can be changed or added later if you need). Be sure to let your teammates know to enter either your name as team leader or the team name when they register.
Fundraise together! Share the link to the donation page with your teammates and they can share it with their personal network. Remind them to include the team name so the donations are included in your team's fundraising total. You can also download a print copy of the Donation Collection form to fundraise in person.
Once you have registered as a team leader, inviting people to join your team is easy! All it takes is two links and your teammates are ready to go.
First, your team members need to REGISTER as a runner/walker - be sure to have them include your team name on the form.
Second, be sure your team members have either the link to the Hope Run Donation page (don't forget to tell them the team name) or download the Donation Collection form.
BE SURE to tell your teammates that they need to REGISTER as a runner/walker (they can include your team name on their registration form) and then they can start fundraising to meet your team goal.
Any questions, please contact Beth Maurer at beth@hopeforsalem.org
If you know what team you are wanting to join, be sure to get the team name or the team captain's name.
Head to the Hope Run page and register as a runner or walker - you can note the team or captain name on your registration form.
Easy! You can visit our event page on Facebook and share or email the link for the Hope Run to your friends.
We would love to have you share our event with your friends, family, and social networks. Every dollar raised helps to provide free services and support to women and babies in our community.
Hope Pregnancy Clinic exists to empower women who are unprepared for pregnancy to make healthy, life-affirming decisions, and to introduce them to Jesus.
To make this event successful and run smoothly, we need 60 to 70 volunteers.
Before the event, volunteers help distribute yard signs and posters, and help prep participant bags.
On the day of the event, volunteers are needed for the following:
* On the course to encourage/cheer participants and make sure they are heading in the right direction
* Help with set up
* Parking lot assistants
* Face painting/balloons
To sign up as a volunteer, please submit an Event Volunteer Form and we'll get in touch to schedule you.
