tipS for Building a fun and SucceSSful team

walk in honor or memory of Someone: Walk in honor of someone living with Alzheimer’s or in memory of someone. It is helpful to name the team after that person. Some examples of long standing teams are: Claire’s Army, Jackie’s Team, and The Ted and Tommy Team.

plan a mail campaign: We are happy to email or mail a prepared letter to friends and family. For copies of a prepared letter and return envelopes email Vance Holder at vholder@alzca.org or call 871-7970.

Be a Social media Star. Share your progress on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Be sure to tag Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama on Facebook! Use #acaislocal as a hashtag to connect.

Set a goal for the team: Be sure and make your supporters aware of your team’s goal no matter how large or small. People work harder when they have a specific goal to meet – especially if they know you are almost there!

donation wall: If you have an office or business that will allow the display of a donation wall we can supply a set of cards on which your donors can write their name (pictured here).

Share what your team iS doing with the aca office. Share your successful ideas we will pass them on to other teams. Share your success stories and photographs with us at vholder@alzca.org.

AlAbAmA vs Auburn!

If you are able to raise funds in a job, church, or other group settings we suggest that your team sell paper Alabama and Auburn footballs for $1 each or more if you deem appropriate. Display them throughout the workplace, on a bulletin board or wherever makes sense. Keep a scoreboard, based on the number sold for each school, so the rivalry will stay heated!

This has been a successful fundraiser for larger groups!

We realize there are other teams that people support! If you would like to sell footballs from other teams (local or not) simply visit the website (alzca.org/walking). If you don’t see your team, email us and we’ll get a template to you (vholder@alzca.org).
