This document provides instructions for organizing fundraising teams and registering as individuals or joining existing teams for a "Celebrate 50!" campaign. It recommends identifying team leaders and natural groups to form teams and generate participation. Team captains are responsible for recruiting new members and motivating fundraising. Individuals can register on the campaign website and customize their page to ask for donations from contacts.

1. Celebrate 50!
How to roll-out your community’s
Campaign

2. After you’ve submitted all your information
for your Celebrate 50! Location page
• Consider that the more people you have
participating, the more $ you will raise
• Some suggestions to sign up participants:
– Identify houses, programs, and volunteers that would be a
natural team
– Identify a team leader for each team
– Meet with team leaders one-on-one to help them register,
set up a team, and use the system
*The Artez system generates automatic e-mails to encourage
and remind people to fundraise

• The Team Captain is responsible for:
1. Signing up new team members
- This can be done by clicking under the Team Tab,
“Recruit Team Members”

3. Modifying the team page
• The Team Captain could be anyone. Experience
suggests that an Assistant who is looking for
some responsibility may be a good choice. People
in existing leadership roles may be too busy to
take on the additional responsibility.

New Participants bar, click “Sign Up”

• Your goal is a guess based on the number of
team members

an example
