Keep Abreast Walk - Team Tips
(back to main Keep Abreast Page)

Participating in the HERS Keep Abreast Walk as part of a team is way to further enhance your own experience, and to bring others into the circle of sharing the event. You can train with team members, hold joint fundraising events, and have a great time attending the event together.

Being part of a team guarantees that you'll have friends focused on fundraising with you, partners on the trail with you during the walk, someone to cheer you on (and to be cheered on by you), as well as a group to celebrate with at the finish line.

By asking your friends and family to join your team, you also bring more fundraising power to the event, and help us provide even more services in our local community.

Team Registration

Our registration form has an area to complete if you are part of a team. Make sure that your team identifies a key contact person, so we can communicate with your group before the day of the event, if necessary. Teams with 10 or more members receive $5 off each member's registration fee.

Please be sure to complete one registration form for each participant! Even if you are walking as a team, we need a separate registration for each team member.

Ways to build your team:

Ask friends to join you
Build a team with your family
Start a team in your neighborhood
