Teams

While new friends and many smiles are guaranteed at RIDE for Smile Train, who better to make a lasting impact and share those smiles with than your family, friends, and colleagues? Call your fellow cycling club or tri-club members and encourage them to join you. Reach out to fellow cleft-affected families to form a team. Riding together is bound to bring more memories, more laughter, and more SMILES!

Team Benefits

Being a part of a team means that you can not only RIDE together come event day, but also help each other achieve your fundraising goals leading up to it! Put your heads together to come up with creative group fundraising activities — sharing connections and networks of donors will help every team member reach their fundraising requirement in no time.

Additionally, teams will have access to our apparel vendor to create their very own one-of-a-kind Team Jerseys (at the teams’ own expense) for Day 2 RIDES. You can get creative and customize your jerseys however you’d like. Pro tip: Add a corporate logo or ask local businesses for a donation to your team in return for their logo on your jersey.

Team Captains

Calling all fearless leaders! We want YOU to rally your friends, family, and coworkers to join your lifesaving RIDE by being a Team Captain. Team Captains are recruiters, cheerleaders, and organizers all at once. It might sound like a lot of work, but there’s no better feeling than the payoff that comes when your team crosses the finish line and crushes its fundraising goals!
