NAMIWalk Team Captain Duties

Are you looking to make a big difference in the fight against mental illness in Montana? Sign up to the be a Team Captain at the 2014 Montana NAMIWalk! It's a great way to take a leadership role in this critical effort.


NAMIWalk Team Captain Duties

  • Register to be a Team Captain. You can either register online at www.namimt.org or call 443-7871.  Registering online will allow you to participate in Team Captain contests that award team fundraising and online recruitment.
  • Pick a Team Name.
  • Set Participation and Fundraising Goals for Your Team.  Each Team should consist of at least five Walkers and each Walker should have a minimum fundraising goal of $100.  Encourage each Walker to set a fundraising goal. 
      GOAL
     – My team will have _____ Walkers
     -  We ill raise $_________  


  • Recruit Walkers to your Team.  Recruit as many Walkers as possible to your Walk Team.  Ask them to register and fundraise online as well at www.namimt.org.
  • Register all Walkers.  Use the Team Captain & Walker Registration Form to list all Walkers, their contact information, and the amount of checks and cash that they collected. [Do not list online donations on the Team Captain & Walker Registration Form.]
  • Raise funds for the Walk.  The most effective way to raise money is through an email or letter writing campaign.  Encourage your Walkers to send out messages or letters to their friends, family, colleagues, etc.  If you would like you may have incentive contests to encourage your Walkers to go the extra mile in their fundraising.
  • Team T-Shirt. Team T-Shirts are optional, but they are a great way to build team spirit and let the other teams know who you are. 
  • Team Sign. Team signs are optional, but are a fun way to provide visibility on Walk Day. 
  • Kick Off Luncheon. Attend the Mary McCue NAMIWalk Kick Off Luncheon at noon on Thursday, August 14th in the basement of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 1700 Missoula Ave. in Helena.
  • Bring Your Team to the Walk. The NAMIWalk will be held on Sunday, September 28th at Memorial Park in Helena, Montana.  Registration begins at 11:00 a.m and the program starts at 12:30 p.m.  Team Captains must be there by noon.
  • Turn in Your Donations.  Turn the large NAMIWalks envelope into the Registration Desk.  Each large envelope should include: (1) a completed Team Captain & Walker Registration Form, (2) a Walker Donation Form for each Walker (including yourself), and (3) each Walker’s small envelopes containing all checks and cash that they collected.  Please contact NAMI Montana at (406) 443-7871 or info@namimt.org if you need additional forms or envelopes.
  • Have Fun.  The NAMIWalk is a great chance for you and your Walkers to have a great time while raising funds for NAMI Montana’s critical mission of supporting, educating, and advocating for Montanans suffering from severe mental illness and their family members.
