Miles for Moffitt

 

 

What does it mean to be a MFM team captain?

Being a team captain can really mean anything! The time commitment is totally up to you! The involvement level of our team captains range from simply registering their team to planning year-round fundraisers for Miles! Whatever you have time for and feel passionate about, we are here to help. 

 

I'm not a team captain yet, as I need to create a team for my department. How do I do that? 

If you are unsure if a team already exists for your group, feel free to ask around or check out our team list here. 

Follow the steps below to create your team: 

• On the Miles for Moffitt website, click the “Register” button to begin the registration process.
• Enter in all your participant information and select your race distance and then click continue.
• Next, review the wavier and if you agree with the terms, check the box, and then click continue.
• Next, complete the required participant questions and then click continue.
• On this page you will have the option to either join a team or create a team. To create a team, click the slider to change to yes.
• Once you have selected yes, complete the additional questions to create your team. You can customize the personal message on your team page or use the standard message.
• Once you have completed the questions, click continue and complete the registration process.

You can also offer a coupon code to cover the entire cost or a percentage of your employee’s registrations.

For help starting a team or creating a coupon code, contact Liz Howard at Elizabeth.Howard@moffitt.org.

If you still have questions, feel free to email milesformoffitt@moffitt.org. 

 

 

What information do I put on my team's fundraising page? 

Your team page is up to you to customize. You can share why you move for what matters, what you hope to achieve as a team through this campaign, or why you participate in Miles for Moffitt. Anything that showcases your passion for Miles. 

 

 

How can I ask people to join my team? 

Recruit your teammates at work, your friends and family outside of work, and even relatives in different states! Most fundraising for Miles happens through word of mouth, so ask around!

You can create flyers, business cards, etc. and post them throughout your department or hand them out in your neighborhood. Remember to link people directly to your team's fundraising page if they want to donate or join!

 

 

What are some good fundraising opportunities for my team? 

 

🌭 Host a give-back night! Some restaurants (Tijuana Flats, Portillos, etc.) will donate a percentage of proceeds back to your team based on the sales made that night. This is a great way to get your team together and raise funds!

 

👕 Sell t-shirts with your team's logo on it through Custom Ink. Custom Ink will donate some of the funds back to Miles and your team members will have fun new swag!

 

🎟 Host a bingo night at a local hangout!

 

👖 $5 jeans Fridays! $5 Jersey Day!

 

There are so many different fundraising ideas for teams! If you have any questions about how to fundraise, email milesformoffitt@moffitt.org.

 

My friend already registered, but forgot to join my team. How can I add them? 

Please ask your friend to email milesformoffitt@moffitt.org with their name and the team that they want to join. The Miles team will update it on the backend.
