For Family Team Captain – Email to Encourage Fundraising

Dear <Name>,

Thank you so much for joining <Team Name>! We look forward to walking with you on <Date> at <location> as we Stop Diabetes® together with the American Diabetes Association.

Diabetes is a serious disease that has no cure. The number of people with diabetes continues to rise, and earlier this year the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that there are 25.8 million American children and adults living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes – including <number> right here in <area>.

We can change that and help Stop Diabetes. Have you set up your fundraising page yet? If not, can I help you set it up? This is fundraising made easy! You can import your mailing list and send out emails asking for support. And you can download fun widgets and badges to use in your e-mail signature or on your Facebook page.

We have <number> weeks to go to Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes, and there’s a lot of work to be done. We already raised $<amount> towards our $<amount> goal.

If you have any questions, I’m here.

Thank you so much!
