Teams
REGISTRATION FOR TEAMS IS NOW CLOSED. You may still register as an individual online until Friday, September 24 at 12:00pm.
Teams are the backbone of the Komen Southeast Wisconsin Race for the Cure®. Over the past 11 years, team captains have been incredible leaders in building Race participation and were instrumental in helping us achieve our 2009 goal of 13,000 participants and raising over $1 million! Starting a team is easy and fun. For more information on Starting a Company Team, Joining a Community Team or General Team questions, email us at Komense.teams@yahoo.com.
A team is any group of 10 people or more who want to participate in the Race as a group. This group may consist of friends, family, coworkers, church and civic groups, schools, children, or any combination thereof. Team members do not have to participate in the same event. A team can have participants in the same event or a combination of events (5K run or walk, Komen mile, etc.).
There is no limit to the number of members you can have on your team. However, your team must have a minimum of 10 team members by the team registration deadline: September 3rd, 2010. If your team does not meet the minimum number of participants needed for a team, the team captain will be notified and all team member registrations will be changed to individual participant status, dissolving the team.

Team Captain Tools
Be sure to check out our Team Captain Tools. You’ll find great tips for getting your Team up and running, including a checklist to get you on track and keep you there, tips for fundraising, and new this year, an official Komen event logo or you to download! Make a fashion statement by designing your own Team t-shirt! (Please note, the color pink is reserved for survivors only on Race Day. Please select an alternate color for your team shirts. Thank you!)
The first step in forming a team is designating a team captain. Komen Southeast Wisconsin relies heavily on team captains as an extension of our volunteer base to help with communications, team tactics, recruiting, and goal setting. Team captains have ongoing contact wtih the Team Committee to support you throughout your Race journey. It's all about TEAM WORK!

Bring a cooler, have lunch, grill out - whatever your plan, make sure to celebrate your teams’ accomplishments in Team Tailgate.
By reserving a 12’ x 12’ spot in Team Tailgate, you are giving your team a premium spot near all the race activities for your team to rally together before the race, pose for team photos, Bartolotta's' will be available for pre-ordered lunch for Team Tailgate teams for convenience and good food. Stay tuned for more information as the Race gets closer. For more details visit the Team Tailgate page or contact us at: Komense.teamtailgate@yahoo.com.
