Why participate in a Team Fundraiser?
There are three types of teams: Corporate, Community and Patient. A team, which can be made up of runners, joggers, walkers, friends and family, helps add more camaraderie and meaning to your St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend experience.
Whether you fundraise with your company, your friends and family or your local running group, being part of a team demonstrates your commitment and dedication to the kids of St. Jude. Because of you, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.
While there are no fundraising requirements for a team, we encourage our teams to consider fundraising at the below levels:
$25,000
$50,000
$100,000
$250,000
$500,000
$1,000,000
Is your company interested in promoting wellness, building employee camaraderie and helping to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital? Sign up for the Corporate Challenge!
The Corporate Challenge through the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend is an easy way to get your employees active while making a difference in the lives of St. Jude families.
Invite your employees to compete against other similar sized corporate companies in two categories – participation and fundraising. Don't miss the chance to be crowned the Corporate Challenge Champion and have the Fastest CEO in the Mid-South!
Our team challenge is not limited to companies! Our Community Challenge is a great way for a group of friends and family to come together in support of St. Jude. Whether it’s a group of friends, your running club or your family members that enjoy running, all it takes is a team captain to get started.
