Sponsorship/In-Kind Sponsorship Chair:____________________________________________

Duties: recruiting new sponsors, following up with previous sponsors, filling out sponsorship request forms. Sponsorship brochures and letters will be provided by NAMI Mississippi. Requests are to be coordinated with the Walk Manager to ensure duplicate asks do not occur. Keep in mind, in-kind gifts of food, a/v equipment, advertising, rental trucks, etc. are great ways for businesses to help! Our goal is to raise $20,000 in sponsorships, and an additional $2,000 in in-kind sponsorships.

Team Chair:___________________________ ________________________________________

Duties: work closely with the Walk Manager as the liaison between the Walk Committee and the Team Captains. Communicate with and train other Team Captains through calls, emails to provide coaching on ways to increase their team size and solicit donations. Tools will be provided to assist in this process, including sample letters, emails and training materials. Consider being a "Super Team" which commits to recruiting TEN teams under your umbrella team. We ask that teams set a goal of at least 10 people, raising $100 each to reach the team goal of $1,000. Our goal is to recruit 5 teams to raise $5000 in each affiliate.
