Create or Join a Team

It only takes 5 to make a team. The more the merrier!

1. Select a Team Captain and  team name. Click here to create your team online, and share the team name with family and friends. Your teammates can become part of the team when registering after April 15. The Team Captain can also administer her team online and add people to her team after they have registered. (Note: Be sure that your team uses the correct team name, i.e., Team ABC is different than ABC Team. Each teammate signs up individually!)
2. Spread the word! Use one of our team tools to help get the word out with your co-workers, friends and family:
   • Download the Team Poster: fill in your team captain information and team name and share around your workplace or email it to your prospective team members.
   • Link the 2022 social media graphics (Facebook header, Facebook post image) to the AKRFW registration page and send to your prospective team members.
   • Remind them of the team awards for largest team and most money raised in your team category.
3. Have fun! Wear coordinating t-shirts, crazy hats or a feather boa – show your support for breast cancer programs. Read more “Helpful Team Tips” here.
4. Team awards are given for: Most Money Raised, Largest Team and Team with the Most States Represented.
5. Team Captains, click here to manage your team!
6. Click here to see a list of teams, contact information if the team captain elected to make it public, and registered participants on each team.
7. Post photos of your coordinating t-shirts, crazy hats or a feather boa – and share it on social media with #AKRFW2022.
