Tips for Team Building
All team members do not have to physically participate. Some might participate as a "virtual stair climber" and still help your team raise money for the American Lung Association.
Gather the people who might be part of your work team together and get them involved.
Make sure your whole team knows why their participation in the Master the Met is important to you and millions of other people who are affected by lung-related illnesses in some way.
Learn about the powerful things the American Lung Association is doing to increase awareness about lung disease and promote lung health.
Set team goals to recruit a large number of team-members and raise money to fuel the American Lung Association’s mission.
Help your team members to register for the event and encourage team members in their fundraising efforts.
Create a friendly competition between team members by seeing who can raise the most money and by who can conquer the stairclimb the fastest.
