TEAM CAPTAIN
The Team Captain is the major contact between NOCLS and their team.
The Team Captain gets a team of 10 participants.
Each participant must raise a minimum of $200.00.
The donations are not based on pledges but on actual dollars received (eg. Someone may say I
will pledge a dollar a lap – say I will be running 100 laps and get the $100.00 – pledges are
difficult to follow-up on).
Team Captains are encouraged to get their teams motivated to collect as many donations as
possible.
Revenue Canada tax receipts will be issued for pledges $20.00 and more.
The Team Captain collects all the donations from each participant and turns the money to the
NOCLS Volunteers.
Team Captains are encouraged to get their team to dress up.
Team Captains are encouraged to host a team meeting. A NOCLS committee member will
attend the gathering to share what the event is about, motivate them and share where the
money will be spent that they raise.
Team Captains are encouraged to get the team to do a skit – however they choose but
generally with music.
A package will be given to each Team Captain which will have 10 team numbers, 10 wristbands,
10 tee shirts and a baton.
The Team Captain is responsible for distribution of the items to each participant.
The Team Captain arranges the walk/run schedule.
The Team Captain gets every participant to sign the waiver and gives them to NOCLS.
There are awards for ‘The Most Money Raised’, Individual who raised the most Money, Team
Spirit Award, Team with most laps.
The Team Captain is responsible for each participant – particularly their behavior and alcohol!
