Friends and family teams are the core that makes Steady Strides a financial success and a truly communal gathering. Joined by a common connection to Parkinson Disease, these groups come together to assure that the support services so vital to a full and active life are available to their loved ones. Teams take on their own personalities and make sure to include fun as a focus of the day. And they can get pretty competitive when it comes to number of participants and funds raised.
Support for the teams frequently ranges beyond immediate, even extended, families and circle of friends. Teams solicit sponsors from their communities and across their social media groups as well. This raises awareness and grows financial contributions.
Team captains are supported by the Steady Strides Race Committee and will be contacted by the committee to assist in recruiting.
