Create a Team

Servathon is a fun way to spend time with family, friends and colleagues while providing service to your community. Think about all the groups you’re involved with: your sports teams, alumni group, church or spiritual group, colleagues, school, book clubs, etc. Be a leader! Get them involved!

Teams will be placed together at the same project site – whichever one they select. Selection of specific project sites starts in early April.

To start a new team:

  • Decide with your group who will be the Team Captain. This person will play an important role in deciding on a team name, recruiting other team members and setting and meeting fundraising goals. Click here for more information
  • The Team Captain will register the team by going to www.servathon.org, clicking on Register Now and following the easy-to-use steps for creating a team.
  • Anyone wanting to join that team just needs to visit www.servathon.org register as a volunteer and then click “Join a Team” and enter the names of the team and the Team Captain.

Team names on t-shirts were such a big hit last year, we are bringing them back in 2010! All teams with 25+ people who register by Monday, March 17, 2010 will be able to get their team name printed on their Servathon t-shirt. We will also be having a contest for the best team name, with prizes being awarded at the after party!

To join an existing team:
New team members will need to know the team name and Team Captain’s name.

Then you can:

  • Visit www.servathon.org
  • Click Register Now and follow the steps for joining a team.
