Impact categories: Knowledge, Awareness & Attitudes

Time commitment: Set aside some time to meet and plan with the team you are partnering with (1-2 hours). Make sure you have an open discussion about what the club expects from your team, and what you expect from them.

Volunteer requirements: A core team of 3-6 people to plan the event and then extra volunteers to help on event day.

Partnerships: Partner with the team you want to fundraise with and look into extra partnerships for food, venue or swag. Often the sports club will have the venue already organized.
