  • CREATING A TEAM: This allows you to set a fundraising goal, then bring all your friends/family members together, and use their combined efforts to achieve your fundraising goal. The best part is that no team can be too big or too small. You can also share the link of your team’s fundraising page and encourage others to register and join in helping you to reach your fundraising goal. You will be doing all this, while at the same time, spreading the message of “Inclusion For All.”

  • For every $100 raised by a team, the team leader gets T-shirts for three members who are actually participating in the walk, and five wristbands to give to whoever he/she wants. 

  • There will be a special prize for each of the top three teams, and the captain of the team raising the most funds will be the Gand Marshal for Buddy Walk-2025.
