We need your team to help fight hunger!

Take the Hunger Challenge. All it takes is one person to get on board and inspire those around you. Won’t you be that person, put a team together and Ride Against Hunger? Riding with friends is just more fun! As part of a team, you have more support for training and fundraising, and the party at Harpoon is all the more fun when you can celebrate together. Put your team on the map for aiding in the serious problem of Hunger in Vermont. We need your help!

HOW TO START A TEAM

Teams are comprised of 2 or more people.

Step 1: SELECT A CAPTAIN and register

Designate a Team Captain and have that person register as such (there’s a place for Captains on the registration form).

Top Fundraising Team (2009) - Team Metropolitian Music

Team Metropolitan Music:

2009 Top Fundraising Team

Step 2: CAPTAINS CREATE THE TEAM FUNDRAISING PAGE ON FIRSTGIVING.COM

Here's How:

Go to Firstgiving.com/pointtopoint.
Look for the heading “Want to raise money”. Under this heading, click “Join a Team”.
From this page you will be able to search for your team name under “Find a team to join” to find out whether a teammate has already created a page for your team, or you may “add a new team” to get started.

Step 3: START RECRUITING RIDERS

Each rider must:

register individually for the ride of their choice and say what team they are joining on the form. **This is important as fundraising totals cannot be attributed to your team if all team members are not registered as such.

Step 4: EACH RIDER CREATES THEIR OWN FUNDRAISING PAGE

Each rider creates their own fundraising page and links it to the Team Page.

Go to Firstgiving.com/pointtopoint.
Follow the instructions to add your own fundraising page
Once you have created your own fundraising page, you need to join your team. Under the heading “Want to raise money?” click “Join a team.” From this page you will be able to search for your team name under “Find a team to join”.

Step 5: Fun Time

Have fun with it! Come up with a theme, make uniforms, and help each other train and fundraise.

If you have questions or need help, contact us at hp2p@harpoonbrewery.com.

Good Luck!
