Forming or joining a team is a great way to come together with family and friends for a day of fun in support of a great cause. All you need is four members to get started – together is better!
• Team members raise more than if they had participated alone
• Teams create more visibility for the MS cause
• The energy that comes from participating on a team is contagious
• Team members say they have more fun
