You will need to form a team at the beginning of your registration process by selecting Form a Team option. If you have already registered as an individual, and would like to form a team, please contact the Courage crew at courage@multicare.org and we would be happy to create the team for you.

Every team does need a team captain. A team captain’s role is to recruit others for their team, rally their team, assist their team members with fundraising efforts so everyone can reach their fundraising goal and get active for Mary Bridge Children's Hospital.

Fundraising is up to each individual; however, we have had teams do group fundraisers and split the proceeds among their team.
