TEAM CAPTAIN GUIDELINES AND ONE WALK PROCEDURES

To ensure a smooth Walk experience, we have outlined important Team Captain Guidelines and Procedures.

WHAT IS A WALK TEAM?

A walk team consists of 2 or more team members who are committed to raising funds for your walk team. We strongly encourage recruiting at least 10 – 12 members for your team to raise the most money possible for T1D research.

The Team Captain serves as a liaison between your team and JDRF. Team Captains should forward any information they receive from JDRF staff to their team members such as important dates, events, and updates.

You are the cheerleaders for your team. It is your responsibility to make sure all team members are aware of the great work that JDRF is doing and why it is so important to meet the suggested fundraising goals to fulfill our mission. IT IS NOT ENOUGH JUST TO WALK...WE NEED TO FUNDRAISE FOR OUR MISSION!

All registered Walk Team Captains and Team Members are invited to attend the *One Walk Kick-off events. The

Kick-off is a perfect opportunity to network with other walk teams, JDRF staff and volunteers, and get revved up for the Walk! It is sure to be packed full of food, fun, and important information!

*We encourage you to have your own mini Walk Kick-off party for your work or organization. JDRF staff is available to come out and participate and/or speak.

PRIOR TO WALK REGISTRATION

ALL TEAMS AND TEAM MEMBERS MUST BE REGISTERED. We encourage each person on a team to register online by visiting walk.jdrf.org. If you need help registering your team members, please contact your JDRF One Walk staff partner.

Registration is free. There are no minimum donation requirements to participate, but we do have a goal of “no zero dollar walkers”. Please encourage your team members to fundraise!

FUNDRAISING

Each Team Captain must indicate their team fundraising goal online. A JDRF One Walk staff partner will be contacting you to go through goal setting to help you have a successful walk experience and set realistic expectations.

You will receive donation collection envelopes upon registering your team. You may request additional collection envelopes for your team members using the Fundraising Tools Order Form. Each team member turning in cash or checks MUST turn in a completed donation collection envelope.

Our goal is that every participant raises $100. Every participant that raises $100 earns the Official JDRF One Walk t-

shirt, which is the first level in the individual incentive structure. You can check out all the great incentives at each fundraising level online at onewalkrewards.jdrf.org. Please note some items may change for the 2018 Walk season. *You may choose to forgo your individual incentives if you would like each member of your team to earn a JDRF Walk t-shirt. For example: One person raises all of the money on your team and has raised enough for each person to receive a t-shirt. The person who has raised all the money will need to forgo their individual incentive prize if they choose to allow each team member to receive a JDRF One Walk t-shirt.

TEAM CAPTAIN GUIDELINES AND ONE WALK PROCEDURES

FUNDRAISING CONT.

All MONIES RAISED MUST BE TURNED IN EITHER ON OR PRIOR TO WALK DAY TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR CERTAIN INCENTIVES AND RECOGNITION. Some event day recognition benefits may have earlier deadlines in order to ensure proper credit – these will be communicated appropriately throughout the walk season. For example: V1P recognition, Team Village Tents etc.

It is your responsibility as the Team Captain to cheer your team members to success! Contact your assigned Team

Coach or your JDRF One Walk staff partner for additional fundraising ideas.

You will be responsible for turning in all walk donations for each of your team members. We strongly encourage you to turn in all walk donations for your team members prior to Walk Day.

Walk donations may be mailed and/or hand delivered to your local JDRF office.

We strongly encourage every participant to make a self-donation. This is a great way to lead by example and show you are committed to turning Type One into Type None!

WEBSITE/PARTICIPANT CENTER

Any off-line walk donations - cash or checks – that you entered on your fundraising page through your participant center, and that were not turned in to your local JDRF office prior to the Walk, will be rejected the Monday following Walk Day.

What does this mean for you? If you have entered cash or check donations in your participant center and turn them in on Walk Day, they will be rejected on the Monday following Walk. You will notice that your team total is less than what you have raised. All donations turned in on Walk Day will be re-entered on your fundraising page approximately two weeks after the Walk.

Why do we do this? This helps ensure accurate data entry of Walk Day donations and prevents any duplicate entries.

How can you avoid this? Please turn in your Walk donations to the JDRF office prior to the Walk. JDRF staff will enter all donations on your fundraising page prior to Walk Day.

WALK DAY

You will need to visit the Check-In Tent if you need to turn in any additional Walk donations, obtain your JDRF One Walk t-shirt ticket for raising at least $100, and/or obtain your V1P Lanyard and one guest pass, that will allow entry for the V1P and guest to visit the V1P tent on Walk Day, for individually raising $1,000.

Team members that need to register on Walk Day can do so by completing and submitting the collection envelope at the Check-In Tent.

If you are new to the Walk, please be sure to visit the New Family Team Tent for more JDRF information and receive

some fun JDRF swag!

Don’t forget to take a walk team photo in the Team Photo area!

One Walk Frequently Asked Questions

Please make sure you opt-in to receive JDRF email when you register for the Walk. Not only is it

important to receive notifications of donations and new team member registration, but it is also

important to receive important Walk information and alerts from the JDRF staff team. If you are opted

out and need help opting back in, please contact your JDRF One Walk staff partner for assistance.

What if I’m having trouble navigating through my Participant Center?

we will be happy to walk you through any processes. In most cases, we can make changes for you

quickly and easily!

be able to choose a prize from the incentive prize catalog to reward them for their outstanding

fundraising efforts. A prize catalog will automatically be sent to you approximately 6-8 weeks after the

Walk via email or postal mail unless you choose to opt-out.

WALK DAY

Do I need to visit the Check-In tent on Walk Day if I do not have any donations to turn in?

If you do not have additional donations to turn in, you only have to visit the check-in tent if you need to

pick up your T-shirt ticket for raising at least $100 or if you need to obtain your V1P lanyard and a guest

pass for raising $1,000 on your individual fundraising page. Otherwise, you may by-pass the check-in

tent and enjoy the activities!

What is a V1P?

The V1P tent is for individuals who raised at least $1,000 on their fundraising page. Prior to walk day,

each V1P will receive their V1P lanyard and one guest pass that will allow entry for the V1P and guest to

visit the V1P tent on Walk Day! In addition to special Walk Day luxuries, V1P’s will also be eligible for

awesome prize drawings!

JDRF ONE WALK—RECOGNITION & AWARDS

BE A V1P FUNDRAISER!

All individual, registered One Walk participants who raise at least $1,000 by Walk day will become a member of the V1P

Club! This group of exceptional people are V1P fundraisers who go above and

beyond other participants in their fundraising efforts because they know every

dollar that JDRF is able to direct towards research helps turn type one into type

none! As a V1P fundraiser, you will receive the following benefits on Walk Day:

The red carpet is rolled out to our V1P participants with unique photo

opportunities, catered food, shout outs, fun signs, and special treatment for

our V1P fundraisers.

Receive a V1P Lanyard that designates you as a top fundraiser.

TEAM AWARDS & RECOGNITION

Top Team Tents

In addition to our individual fundraising stars, we also recognize our phenomenal

fundraising TEAMS! On Walk Day, any team that raises at least $10,000 will have their

own special tent in Team Village.*

This is just one more way for us to celebrate your many accomplishments and highlight

your fundraising excellence. If you are one of those top teams in Team Village be sure to

look for the top team sign along the Walk route.

A top fundraising plaque will be given to our top three corporate and family fundraising

teams as well as a special “Rookie of the Year” award to our top fundraising team new to

the JDRF One Walk.

* To be eligible for a tent in Team Village, the minimum of $10,000 must be received one week prior to the Walk date.

INCENTIVE PRIZES

We have a fantastic fundraising incentive program. All fundraising incentives are based

upon individual fundraising. Team totals and general team donations are not applied to

the incentive program.

All registered walkers who raise at least $100 will receive an Official JDRF One

Walk t-shirt .

All registered walkers who raise $250 or more will qualify for their choice of an

incentive through the online incentive program. The online program offers a variety of

branded JDRF items at each giving level.

Are you Type One?

While Walk Day is a celebration of our fundraising accomplishments, we

also want to acknowledge the reason we all worked so hard… to improve

lives for children and adults living with T1D each and every day. Because of

our loved ones with T1D, we are inspired and strengthened in our resolve

to create a world without T1D.

T1D identifier image coming soon!

We have a special new item to wear for every walker who has T1D to honor their determination to overcome this

disease and to let them know that they are not alone. We hope everyone with T1D will wear it proudly on Walk

Day.

JDRF New Family Tent

Those of you who have attended a JDRF Walk before already know

what a fun and inspiring day it is for everyone.

On Walk Day there will be a New Family tent where families can

stop by and learn more about JDRF, meet other JDRF families, and

find out how we work together to raise awareness and funds to

cure, treat, and prevent T1D.

We have an exclusive JDRF drawstring backpack for new families as a special welcome and thank you.

TO QUAILFY FOR INCENTIVES: All money raised must be turned in on or prior to walk day** to be eligible for certain walk day incentive prizes and recognition.

**Some event day recognition benefits may have earlier money turn in deadlines in order to ensure proper credit – these will be communicated appropriately throughout the Walk season. Example: V1P perks and recognition, Team Village Tents, etc.

WHAT IS TYPE 1 DIABETES?Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone people need to get energy from food. T1D strikes both children and adults, and its onset has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. There is currently nothing you can do to prevent it, and there is no cure.
