Why form a team?

Since the dawn of time, history has shown that humans enjoy doing things together, as part of a group. We developed a team program that focuses on just this.  We provide materials, incentives and staff to help you form and motivate a team. All you need to do is recruit teammates who want to join in the movement towards a world fee of multiple sclerosis

Teams can consist of friends, family members, co-workers and a variety of other groups. A team is any group of coworkers, fellow students, religious/civic organization members, friends, or family members who pre-register, raise money, and ride together on the weekend of Bike MS.

How do I get started as a team captain?

Becoming a team captain is easy. Start by registering yourself and creating a team name here.

The rest is as simple as 1-2-3.

The Greater Illinois Bike MS staff is here to help you! We will provide you with all the tools you need to ensure a successful experience.
Note: There is no additional registration fee to register as a team. Each team member is required to register and raise at least $300.

I started a team, now what?

1. Get the word out: display posters and brochures everywhere; place a note in your company or organization newsletter.
2. Get help from your company, your family, and your community by telling them what you are doing and asking them to support you by joining your team or donating money on your behalf.
3. Utilize online tools: set up a team webpage for everyone to visit. Motivate your team to work hard and reach its goal, encourage them to become one of the top fund-raising teams.
4. Watch your email and mailbox for various incentives for teams to increase their fund-raising dollars.

Thank you for joining the movement against MS!
