Teams

Organizing a team is a great way to get more enjoyment out of the event while also compounding your fund-raising efforts.

To get started, designate a team captain.

  1. If you haven’t yet registered for the event, select “Setup a Team” under “Participation Preference” on the first Registration Page (at DoJiggy).
  2. Enter contact information pertaining to the team captain, then click “Next.”
  3. On the second registration page, enter your team name.
  4. Enter your personal pledge page weblink nickname and personal fund-raising goal (the team pledge page is setup later).
  5. Once you have registered yourself as the team captain, log into your account.
  6. Click “Pledge Control Panel”
  7. The button on the far right of the toolbar will be labeled “Personal Settings” or “Team Settings.”  This toggles between your personal hiker information and your team’s hiker information.  The second button from the left will switch between “Team Website” and “Personal Website.”
  8. Click “Team Website” to create a pledge page for your team along with a fund-raising goal.  Pledges can be made to an individual hiker on the team or to the team as a whole.  Either way, the pledges made to team members will contribute to the overall team pledge total.

To join an existing team while registering:

  1. If you haven’t yet registered for the event, select “Join a Team” under “Participation Preference” on the first Registration Page (at DoJiggy).
