Form a Team

Walk for Rice is more fun when you have a large group of friends, family or coworkers joining you to help alleviate hunger in the Asian Pacific American (APA) community. Past events have had teams from places of worship, government departments, community organizations, businesses, schools and much more.

How do I form a team? It’s simple.

[1] Become a Team Captain or designate someone to:

• Recruit walkers/runners and have each participant complete the donor form. The easiest way to do this is to ask!
• Put up posters to generate interest. Ask businesses you frequent or those in your neighborhood to put up posters.
• Motivate and challenge team members to fill up their donor sheet by creating a friendly competition with a contest or a team goal.
• Communicate with the Walk for Rice Coordinator. The coordinator can help you with registration, answer questions, supply extra promotional materials and arrange for a group presentation.

[2] Set a Goal

This year, participants in teams of ten or more people and individuals raising $250 or more each receive a complimentary Walk for Rice t-shirt on the day of the event, while individuals raising $1,000 or more will each receive a Walk for Rice hoodie. Please note that hoodies will be ordered and delivered to qualifying participants after the event.

The following will be honored on ACRS’ Walk for Rice Wall of Fame:

• Largest Team (only registered members count)
• Top Fundraising Team (all funds must be submitted by time of registration, with matching gift forms)
• Top Individual Fundraiser (all funds must be submitted by time of registration, with matching gift forms)

[3] Register Yourself and Your Team Online

Ask your team members to register online and specify the name of your team. Team members who live at the same address need only complete the online registration form once!

[4] Recruit

more team members and raise more awareness about hunger in the APA community by sending the Walk for Rice website to all your friends, colleagues and family with one click!

[5] Get ready to have fun and Walk for Rice!

Show your team spirit and wear your organization or company shirts. *

* To ensure the focus stays on uniting to fight hunger in the Asian Pacific American community, please refrain from carrying political signs for candidate endorsements or other political issues. Buttons and t-shirts are acceptable.
