Click Get Involved at the top of the page and follow the steps to set up your personal page and the team page.

Each team member will have a personal fundraising page linked to the team and all individual fundraising for your team members will add to your team goal.

Set up a team under your company name and invite entrants from all sporting categories to fundraise together towards your team total and spot on the leaderboard!

We believe in strength in numbers! Gather your colleagues and have them invite their workmates too. It's all about enjoying ourselves while supporting kids in need. You can choose to make your team open to everyone or keep it private so only those you invite can join.

Your fundraising page is your greatest ally! Once you sign up, it will be set up immediately, allowing supporters to donate directly to you or your team. Simply share the link on socials and via the email template provided in your dashbard to ask for support. 

You can also set up a Facebook fundraiser from your dashboard and all donations from your friends there will be linked to your page and help you towards your goal.
