New Team Captain Information
As a team captain, your job is to motivate your family, friends, and colleagues to join your team and raise funds for the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center.We created a step-by-step team captain guide that contains useful information about how to manage your team and learn more about Angels Among Us. If you need additional assistance, our Angels Among Us staff is here to support you throughout the entire process.
Here are a few important steps not to forget:
PICK A TEAM NAME: Have fun naming your team. Check the team list to make sure you don’t duplicate an existing team name.
REGISTER YOUR TEAM: Use the yellow "Register" button above and follow the instructions. Add a story and photos to the Team page to share why this is important to you.
RECRUIT TEAM MEMBERS: Ask family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to join your team.
Whether your team is here in person or here in spirit, we welcome you to our growing family of supporters.

Other Ways to Participate
In addition to creating a team, there are a few other ways to participate in the event:
A sentimental tribute will be set up for you to celebrate survivors or the life of your loved one. You may post pictures, poems, stories—whatever you would like to place on the wall to celebrate their life. Please remember to take your precious mementos with you when you leave the event.
Many teams design a special T‑shirt for their teammates to wear on event day. Shirts are fun, unique, and sentimental. Since this is not required, event awards are given to the top five creative T-shirts to thank them for their extra effort. To enter the contest, email us a front and back image of your design.
Team photos are a fun way to document your time at the event, and gather your team together to celebrate hope. You may begin emailing Kim Toxey to schedule your team photos in March. To learn more about Team Photos, visit the Event Details page.
