Teams

Teams come in all sizes - just four or more people make a team! There are all types of teams involved with the event: corporations, friends, co-workers, and families build teams to climb for all those who have been affected by lung disease. Once you register, you will have access to terrific tools to help you have a great team experience.

What is a team?

  • A team consists of a captain and a minimum of four additional team members. A team may have more than one captain, which is a great way to share responsibilities.
  • Teams can be classified as Corporate (meaning that they are representing a company or organization), Friends, or Family.
  • Monies raised by individuals on a team combine to make that team’s fundraising total.

Does forming a team cost more?

  • No; the registration fees and fundraising minimum is by individual. There are no additional fees.
  • Teams may invest in team shirts, team incentives, team memorabilia, but those costs are at the discretion of the team or supporting company.

Are teams more fun?

  • Teams generate enthusiasm before, during, and after the event.
