Ask your employer to support Brighton’s iWalk by forming a company team under your
team.

Share why you are walking! If you are walking in honor of a child with a disability, let
everyone know – your team members, donors, etc. Making your asks personal will get
stronger results and is a great way to let others know about that special kiddo that
inspires you!

Communicate often! Keep everyone informed of your team’s fundraising progress.
Keeping the entire team updated makes for a more successful team overall.

Create friendly competition among team members, recognize and highlight
successful efforts! Recognize and reward those who send out the most e-mails,
recruit the most walkers and raise the most money. This helps to get the creative juices
flowing!

Have fun and Celebrate your Success! Create a team T-shirt or banner to help identify
and encourage your team on Walk Day. But most importantly, celebrate your success
on Walk Day and the efforts you and your team members have made to support and
celebrate children with disabilities!

Thank team members for their efforts and participation and encourage them to thank all
their donors. Hold your own thank-you party after the event. It’s a great opportunity to
lay the groundwork for next year!
