• Identify your team by writing in your Team Name, Team Captain’s Name and the Date. Phone Number and Email Address may also be useful if there is any discrepancies found when processing your form.
Team Accounting SheetTeam Accounting Sheet(Detail)(Detail)
• Identify each team member who is turning in money. Be sure to enter the name as it appears on the team website or on the paper registration form. (For example, if someone has registered as William Smith don’t write Bubba Smith on this form.)
• If you’re enclosing money for multiple registrations or team fundraising, you can enter the word “TEAM” as the participant’s name.
• You can also identify the Team Fundraising Activity.
Team Accounting Sheet Team Accounting Sheet (Registrations)(Registrations)
• If multiple people have turned in registration forms and money, you can do one entry for “TEAM” and include the total for all registration, rather than recording a separate line for each team member.
• If you are turning in registration money for members who registered on-line, you will need to specify the members’ names.
Team Accounting SheetTeam Accounting Sheet(Donations)(Donations)• Donations collected by the Team Member or earned by
participating in fundraising activities.
Team Accounting Sheet (Luminaria)
• The suggested donation is $10 for each luminaria. Some people choose to donate more.
• If an individual donates more, the entire amount posted on the luminaria form must be posted to the luminaria column, as this money is deposited in a separate account. For example, if someone donates $50 for one luminaria, it must be recorded as $50 in luminaria and not $10 for luminaria and $40 for Other Fundraising.
Team Accounting Sheet Team Accounting Sheet (Other)(Other)
• Other fundraising includes all other individual or team fundraising activities.
• This may include money from the ACS Car Raffle or the Blue Crab’s Baseball Vouchers or Brick Sales

• All money recorded on the line should total the number reflected in the Total column.
• There is also a new column that asks ‘Divide Evenly Among Team’ (not shown)
