Leading a Fundraising Event Team as a Captain of a Team

In addition to managing details about the team you create, you can customize the Team page that promotes publicity among team members and may encourage them to raise more money in the spirit of friendly competition.

You can monitor the progress of the team and easily broadcast encouraging messages or updates about it to their Participant Centers to keep them going.

You can easily send emails to them for such purposes as attending a team meeting, getting together to brainstorm about raising more money, or just for social purposes. You can also recruit members for your team from the teammates on your team in the previous event if this event is linked to it.

If co-captains are allowed, you may also be able to promote another team member to be your Co-Captain to help you manage the team communications.
