Teams
What constitutes a team?
A team is any group of friends, family, coworkers, fellow students or community organization members who pre-register, raise money and run/walk together on
the day of Plate to Plate. Teams can range in size from 2 to more than 100 people. Any team that registers 20 or more runner/walkers by August 19, 2009
will qualify for a Team Bench (a meeting place specific to your team).

What are the Team Coach’s responsibilities?
A Team Coach is the key player who recruits, inspires and motivates people to register as well as raise funds for Project Open Hand. A Team Coach
distributes materials to all potential participants and continues to follow-up with all those who register. A Team Coach is there to answer questions
the participants have.
How do I register my team and set up my Plate to Plate team web page?
Setting up your Plate to Plate Web page is easy! Click here
to register and choose "Start a team" (extended until August 19, 2009). Once you register, you can customize your team web page, send out team recruitment e-mails, set team goals, and
talk with other Team Coaches on the bulletin board. As the days go by, you can monitor the success of your team by checking fundraising statistics and
obtaining donation and team recruitment reports.
Do my Team Members have to pre-register?
Yes – All team members must be registered by August 19, 2009. After that, additional team members may sign up as individual participants
and run/walk with the group but will not be counted as part of your team totals.
How do Team Members register?
Click here to register and choose "Join a team" (until August 19, 2009).
If someone registered for Plate to Plate as an individual, can they still join our team?
Before August 19, 2009 pre-registered runner/walkers can still be part of your team. Call the Plate to Plate hotline at (415) 447-2316 and provide the
runner/walker’s name, address, phone number and e-mail address, if available. Ask to have them added to your team.
How can I coordinate a meeting place for my team at the event?
If your team is larger than 20 persons by August 19, 2009, your team will qualify for a designated Team Bench where you can meet prior to the beginning of
the 5K run/walk. If your team is smaller than 20 persons, you will want to communicate among your team members to decide on a meeting place. You can refer
to the map of the location by clicking here.
How does a Team sit together at the Giants game?
Tickets for all Team members who register by August 19, 2009 will be bundled for pick up by Team Coaches at the pre-game festival on event day starting at
9:30 a.m. Team Coaches will need to show photo ID.
