Below are the details for the Portland, Oregon event.

Becoming a Captain:
If you were thinking of supporting a charitable cause and becoming a team captain, now is the perfect time to get signed up. You can do it all online. You can fill out the form and get registered online. They even have tools to help you get started and be successful, as well as how to keep it fun and encourage your team.
Invite team members. (Remember, if you invite three, they’ll each invite three, and so on, and then you will have a great team!) You’ll need at least 9 to create a successful team.
You are encouraged to set an individual goal. It can be any dollar amount above $200, but teams are rewarded special prizes for going above and beyond this amount.
A team meeting may be helpful to get everyone excited about the project and to set your goals and standards. This meeting may also e used to explain the team website and the setup of their personal website space.
Get them excited! Your own enthusiasm will be contagious.
Make sure to collect all of your off line funds. You will be the last step before the funds are sent to the organization, so be ready to collect from each team member.
How to donate:
You can easily donate online. I did, and it was too easy. I did a search for my local walk and then donated to a walker that I now. I was able to do it all online with a credit card just like online shopping. The minimum donation amount is $5, but you will get a t-shirt for donating over $50!
