Team Recruitment

Spread the Word - Advertise!

• Send an email to everyone in your address book asking them to join your team. (You can easily do this through your participant center.) Then ask them to email everyone in their address book as well.
• Tell your family, friends and co-workers about the Challenge Walk MS and ask them to join your team.
• Send out letters announcing your commitment and invite recipients to join your team.

Display Posters and Rack Cards Everywhere

• Display Challenge Walk MS posters and rack cards everywhere you can at work (cafeterias, restrooms, health clubs and break rooms are great).
• Drop a rack card on your co-worker’s desks, in bins or mailboxes.
• Write the team captain's name and phone number on the posters and rack cards so people who are interested can get in touch.
• Display a sign-up list in a high traffic area to create positive peer pressure and to encourage others.

Get Company Support

• Ask your company to sponsor the team, provide team T-shirts or become an official Challenge Walk MS sponsor (call us for details).
• Ask your employer if the company supports a matching gifts program.
• Announce your Challenge Walk MS team in the company newsletter.
• Ask about payroll stuffers and inserting a “Challenge Walk MS” flyer in employee paychecks.
