Craig R. Miller A Word From AIDS Walk Founder/Senior Organizer

Dear Team Leader, The 1980s was a time of great fear surrounding HIV/AIDS, but it was a time of even greater heroic acts. In 1987, at the first AIDS Walk San Francisco, thousands of us confronted that fear, and we walked – toward, not away from those in dire need. We walked with determination to change the course of the epidemic, and through our actions, we have. The end of the epidemic is now within reach, and we must not relent. Thank you for taking action to uplift lives and end the suffering caused by the disease. Caring people like you like you are once again stepping forward to meet the needs of people living with HIV/AIDS. On Sunday, July 19, we will unite in Golden Gate Park as a courageous and powerful community. Unafraid, we will walk, determined to give rise to an AIDS-free generation. With much appreciation,

Craig R. Miller Founder/Senior Organizer AIDS Walk San Francisco

Day of Event Team Leader Workshop

Tuesday July 7, 6—7:30 p.m.

We can answer all of your questions in regards to the day of AIDS Walk San Francisco. You will be fully prepared to gather your team on Sunday, July 19 and have a great time!

The workshop will be located at Project Inform’s offices: 273 Ninth Street, San Francisco CA 94103

Qualifying For A Team Meeting Station

Wednesday, July 8 at 12 p.m.– Deadline to qualify for a Team Meeting Station

A Team Meeting Station is a designated area in Golden Gate Park for Team Members to meet up on the day of AIDS Walk San Francisco. Signs will clearly identify each Team Meeting Station. They are arranged in alphabetical order by team name. To qualify for a Team Meeting Station on the day of the AIDS Walk, a team must have at least 25 registered walkers by Wednesday, July 8 at noon. The walkers registered after July 8 are still registered as Team Members but will not appear on the Team Roster at your Team Meeting Station (if you qualify) on the morning of AIDS Walk San Francisco. Teams that have less than 25 walkers can refer to the Venue Map to select a meeting place. Use the Transfer Sheets provided at your Team Meeting Station or at the Team Information booth on the day of the AIDS Walk to add new walkers to your team. You will receive a complete Team Roster after AIDS Walk San Francisco to confirm that all of your Team Members have been accurately registered onto your team.

Keeping Golden Gate Park Spotless – Cleaning up your Station Team Meeting Stations will be taken down in the afternoon after the Closing Ceremony and AIDS Walk Total Announcement, so please DO NOT leave anything behind. Any supplies left on the table will be recycled or thrown away. If you plan to bring any non-disposable items to your Team Meeting Station, make arrangements to carry them or for someone to take them to their car.

IMPORTANT: Do not bring AIDS Walk donations to your Team Meeting Station. Turn in all donations at the Sign-In Area.

A matching gift is a donation made by a corporation or foundation in support of an employee’s contribution to a nonprofit organization. Use the search engine below to find out if your company has a matching gift program in place. Can’t find your company? Talk to your Human Resources to find out.

What?

How?

Why?

Matching gifts are an increasingly vital resource for many nonprofit organizations because of their ability to double, triple, or even quadruple an individual’s contribution.

...to receive credit: Please forward the email confirmation of the online Matching Gift Form to [email protected]. Make sure to include the dollar amount of the match, the donor’s name, and the walker’s name in the email. *If the email confirmation is not sent to us ahead of time, the walker may print it out and turn it in on the day of the AIDS Walk at Sign-In.

…to start an informal matching gift program: Employees. Ask your boss, CEO, or other company executive if they will match what your team raises or perhaps sponsor the first 25 walkers to register. Keep in mind that your matching program does not only have to be “dollar-for-dollar”; it can be any ratio you agree on. Just ask! Students. Schools do not usually have formal matching gift programs, but many creative students lobby to create one. An informal match program can be an agreement with the principal/dean to match the amount the team collected during an AIDS Walk San Francisco campaign. Suggest that your school donate $1 for every walker on your team who shows up and walks on the actual day of the event. Get creative and watch your team achieve fundraising success.

Search Engine: http://sf.aidswalk.net/Matching-Gift-Info

Be prepared. Keep a supply of your company’s

Matching Gift Forms readily available with your Sponsor Form and encourage Team

Members to do the same.

After Sign-In, Proceed to Your Team Meeting Station Teams that have at least 25 registered walkers as of Wednesday, July 8 at NOON will be provided with a Team Meeting Station. A Team Meeting Station consists of half of a six-foot long table in the Team Meeting Area in Golden Gate Park. Please plan accordingly. If your team has 60 members, you will be designated a full table and will be given an additional half table (three feet) for every 30 members after that. If your team does not qualify for a Team Meeting Station, we strongly suggest designating a location for your Team Members to meet before the AIDS Walk begins. Suggestion: If you do not qualify, you can meet in the Team Meeting Area where your team name would fall alphabetically. You can get answers to team questions and get assistance constructing your own team sign at the Team Information tables located at each of the entrances to the Team Meeting Areas.

Finding Your Team Meeting Station All Gold Teams will meet in the exclusive Gold Team Area in the middle of Sharon Meadow, near the stage. General Team Meeting Stations will be arranged alphabetically by team name around the perimeter of Sharon Meadow. Signs will clearly identify each Team Meeting Station.

Please notify your walkers if your team name differs in any way from your official company or organization name. If your team name begins with “Team,” you will be located in the “T” section of the alphabet.

Your Team Roster A folder containing a roster of registered Team Members as of July 8 will be at your Team Meeting Station. You or a volunteer from your team should review the roster to make sure that all Team Members are listed and that their contact information is correct. Transfer Forms will be provided in the folder for transferring or registering additional people to your team. Please LEAVE THIS FOLDER at your Team Meeting Station to be collected by AIDS Walk staff, who will update your Team Roster with the new information. Do not take this folder with you! Keeping Golden Gate Park Clean – Cleaning up your Team Meeting Station Any supplies left on the table will be recycled or thrown away. If you plan to bring any non-disposable items to your Team Meeting Station, make arrangements for someone to take them to their car, or carry them with you on the AIDS Walk route.

INTERIM ROSTERS: WEEK OF AUGUST 3 We will email you your interim team fundraising total and roster at this time. Please remember that you have until the fundraising deadline to

increase that total!

FUNDRAISING DEADLINE: FRIDAY, AUGUST 14

We encourage every walker to turn in all pledges and collect individual Fundraising Incentive Awards on the day of the AIDS Walk. The deadline, however, to turn in all outstanding donations to qualify for

Fundraising Awards and to have the funds applied to your team total is Friday, August 15. Any awards that are earned after the event can be picked up at the AIDS Walk office. We will calculate the total amount

raised by your team and provide that information to you in the weeks following the AIDS Walk. This figure will be calculated based on the total dollars turned in on or before Sunday, July 19, plus any additional contributions received in the AIDS Walk office by Friday, August 14 at 5 p.m. Pledges will still gladly be

accepted after that date, but cannot be credited to a specific walker or team.

FINAL TEAM RANKINGS AND ROSTERS: WEEK OF AUGUST 24

Congratulations! Check out your final team rankings, team roster, and the announcement of the 2016 Gold Teams!

See You Sunday July, 19!
