Goal Setting Tips
Establishing a goal is an easy way to maintain motivation and give you and your team a benchmark for success. We encourage team captains to set goals for themselves and their teams, while keeping these tips in mind:
- Let your team members know why joining your team and fundraising are important to you. Challenge each team member to set a personal goal!
- Hold a meeting with your team to discuss how your team plans on reaching their goal. This is a great opportunity to involve your team members and get their feedback!
- Don’t keep your goal a secret! Use e-mails, your team page, or company intranets to communicate goals! Also, let people know how close your team is to reaching their goal. The thermometer on your team page will increase with every pledge!
- Join the ranks of our award-winning teams. Give your team members
a reason to reach for the stars by having team challenges and providing prizes or
incentives (such as a $5 gift card to Wawa or a local nail salon).
- Goals should be realistic, but significant; if it requires hard work to attain, it will be a source of pride for your team.
- Get input from the entire team. Having them believe in the goal from the word "go" will make your job as team captain that much easier.
- Don't forget to set both personal and team fundraising goals. Lead by example: share your fundraising goal with your team.
- Set a goal for team size as well as collective fundraising. Supporting more team members can mean more substantial fundraising.
- If you are part of a large corporate team, have departments set their own goals to create some fun internal competition.
