How Fundraising and Teams Work
Creating or joining a team can be a little confusing, but don’t worry, we have you covered with a more detailed explanation here.
In order to create or join a team you have to go through the individual registration process. During that process you will have the option to check a block that says “I’d like to sign up.” When you do that, once you complete your registration you will immediately get the option to personalize your own fundraising page, or create or join a team. But don’t worry, you don’t have to make those decisions right away, because you will also receive an email that thanks you for becoming a fundraiser and provides a link to your own personal fundraising page, which you can modify and/or use to create or join a team later at your convenience. Please note that you will receive 3 emails when you register:
One with your ticket/proof of registration complete with a QR code,
One with a receipt for payment, and
One with fundraiser information (this is the one we’re interested in here).
When you click on the link in the fundraiser information email you will have a variety of options:
You can leave your personal fundraising page the way it is and just ignore it, which is fine.
You can scroll down to the bottom and click on “Edit my page” to customize it with a photo and other information and send a web and/or text link out to your friends so that they can support you.
Or you can create or join a team by clicking on “Edit my page” and on the following page in the upper right clicking on “Join or Create a Team”. From there you follow the instructions to create or join a team.
There you have it. Now you can encourage others to support you, create your own team or join an existing one, or simply leave things the way they are and enjoy the IWalk. Whatever you decide, we appreciate your support and hope you enjoy the event.
