Dear Friend, Quick question—have you thought about who you’re bringing with you to Huntsman Cancer Foundation SportsFest? One of the best parts of SportsFest is that it’s even more fun together. Teams aren’t just for quest. Whether you’re walking, running, riding, or questing, forming a team is an easy way to stay motivated, build momentum, and make the day even more memorable. And bonus: you don’t even have to do the same activity to be on the same team. Grab your phone right now and text your last five contacts, inviting them to join you at SportsFest! If you’re the kind of person who likes to rally the group (or you accidentally became “the planner”), being a team captain is simpler than it sounds. We’ve put together a Team Captain’s Guide with tips, ideas, and tools to help you lead without stress and still have a great time.

Jen and Kristen

Fundraising is easier and more fun with a team. Try setting a shared team goal and celebrating small wins along the way. Even quick check-ins like a group text that says, “We’re $50 closer to our goal!” can keep everyone motivated, connected, and excited about the impact you’re making together.
