Here’s How to Form a Memory Walk Team Today
It’s easy to step up to be a Memory Walk Team Captain.  We offer tools and tips to help set goals, motivate members, seek donations and share news about team successes, starting with four easy steps:
 

Step 1—Name and Register your Team!
Once your team has a name, register online at www.alzheimers-illinois.org/memorywalk or call your local Chapter office.  Then, create your team’s home page and send e-mails from the site.

Step 2—Set Your Team Goals!
Set the number of members for your team and the total amount your team will raise.  The Memory Walk Web site has a sample plan for each family team member to raise $200 or for a corporate team to have donations from 10 percent of employees. 

Step 3—Recruit your Team Members!
Invite friends, family, co-workers, and members of social, civic or fraternal organizations to join your Memory Walk Team (and encourage them to invite others to join).  Have team members register online at:
www.alzheimers-illinois.org/memorywalk. 

Step 4—Motivate, Motivate, Motivate!
Share your enthusiasm and Memory Walk updates.  We provide lots of tips and tools, including ways to check donation totals 24 hours a day for those teams registered online).
