Starting a Team
To start a team, your team captain must first register as an individual, create your team, and can then invite your workmates to join.
-
Starting a team is not just about forming a group; it's about inspiring others. Choose a team name that radiates positivity and draws members in.
-
Remember, there's no I in team! Encourage your friends, colleagues and community to join in the fun.
-
Set a fundraising target with your team and make a plan to ZOOM past your targets.
-
Give your fundraising page a personal touch with pictures, team updates and personal stories.
-
Keep the team's motivation up – you're riding to help make wishes come true for critically ill children, a cause that resonates every time you saddle up in March.
Will your team ride to make a
difference for seriously ill kids?
Any questions, reach out to fundraising@makeawish.org.au!

So you've started your team, now what?
Here are a few tips to help recruit members from your workplace:
-
Reserve some time in your next meeting – let your team know why raising funds for children with a critical illness is important, and ask them to join you in your challenge throughout March.
-
Print out posters with your team’s QR code so anyone who signs up goes straight into your team.
-
Get your organisation to share Make-A-Wish's messages and stories through internal communication channels.
-
Ask your employer if they’ll match your team’s fundraising efforts.
-
Leave a donation box in your break room, locker room or wherever you gather regularly.
-
Ask for donations through email and social media, with a link to your team’s page.
-
Throw an end-of-month awards ceremony to celebrate the top fundraiser and rider!
