To create a team, you first need to have registered for a walk and have set up a team fundraising page. There are two options to create a team:

Option 1. If you haven’t already registered, start by finding your walk and clicking ‘REGISTER‘. Then as you move through the registration process and create your fundraising page, select ‘Yes, I’d like to create a new team‘. Once you finish the registration process, your name will appear on that team’s page. This allows you to show how much your individual efforts have contributed to the team.

Option 2. If you’ve registered and already have an individual fundraising page, sign in at the top of this page and go to ‘MY ACCOUNT’. Click on your fundraising page and click ‘Create or Join a Team’, and create your team.

Please note: If you direct people to donate to your team page, the funds will be part of a generic pool for that page and not against your name. This can make things confusing when it comes to thanking people for individual donations.

To join a team, you first need to be registered for a walk.

Option 1 - Join a team during registration.

If you haven’t already registered, start by clicking ‘REGISTER’. Then as you move through the registration process and create your fundraising page, select ‘Yes, I’d like to join an existing team’ and find the team you want to join in the drop down. Once you finish the registration process, your name will appear on that team’s page. This allows you to show how much your individual efforts have contributed to the team.

Option 2 - Join a team from your fundraising page.

If you’ve registered and already have an individual fundraising page, sign in at the top of this page and go to ‘MY ACCOUNT’. Click on your fundraising page and click ‘Create or Join a Team’, search for the team name or organisers name and select the team you wish to join.

We encourage everyone who is fundraising to have their own fundraising page, which they should then link to the team. This shows how much each team member has raised alongside the collective total on the team page. It’s a great way to bring out the competitive spirit of your teammates and encourage fundraising.

If they are attending the walk, they need to register. In order to create their own fundraising page, they’ll need to register for the walk.

If you haven’t registered online before the walk, you can register on the day.

While registration fees make it possible to cover the costs of running the walk, fundraising is an essential part of helping us meet our mission of increasing survival rates and quality of life for patients through medical research – we need your help.

You can choose for a page to be set up for you during the registration process.

We have created some fundraising resources, tips and ideas to help you. Highest individual and team fundraisers will be acknowledged on the day.

Fundraising is optional however we are incredibly grateful to everyone who makes a contribution, no matter how small. Every dollar raised enables us to continue to make progress in pancreatic cancer research and treatment.

Are you a group walking for someone affected by pancreatic cancer? Why not walk together as a team and multiply your impact.

It’s simplest if your team leader registers first and creates the team with a unique name. Once the team is set up, additional members can join when they register.

If you are having trouble joining a team, please contact the helpdesk on: support@grassrootz.com
